Attached is a photo of Phyllidia koehleri Perrone, 2000 from the Maldives, South-Male Atoll, Vagali Island, divesite Vagali Caves, size 15 mm, depth 16 m, Sept. 22, 2000.

Koehler, E., 2001 (Mar 2) Phyllidia koehleri. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/3741Congratulations Erwin,
This is the one I have been calling Phyllidia? sp. 1. It certainly has similarities to the Phyllidiopsis striata group externally. I see from Perrone's paper that all the colour forms I have on this page are considered to be a single species.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
