Re: Chromodoris cf. decora from Saudi Arabia

I should have mentioned in Gordon Smith's message that Nathalie Yonow (1989, Pl.4) published a photo of an animal almost identical in colour pattern to his. Both Nathalie's and Gordon's specimens were from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. At my suggestion she identified it in her publication as Chromodoris cf. decora. Perhaps this is a colour form endemic to the Red Sea.
