Dear Bill
To further muddy the waters regarding recent Mexichromis submissions, you will find attached two (2) images of what is believed to be Mexichromis mariei based on your recent postings. Both Images were also taken at Tulamblen, Bali, Indonesia in the general area where the previous pics of Mexichromis cf. multituberculata were recorded. Limited development of the wine-red tipped tubercles are evident in one specimen. Any idea as to what is going on here???

Thanks for the pics. The low rounded pustules seem to be a feature of what I think is M. mariei. Another feature, which your photos reinforce, is that this species has a solid orange border to the mantle. I know someone will probably send a photo now to prove me wrong but that's the value of the Forum... a chance to informally swap ideas and images. Certainly your original images have caused me to rethink my earlier ideas on this group of Mexichromis and it helps to make sense of the anatomical and radular differences I have found.
Bill Rudman.
