Fryeria rueppelii? from Saudi Arabia
November 30, 2001
From: John Chuk
Dear Bill,
After sadly ignoring them for some time I am making an effort to identify the phyllidiids I have on slide. I don't find them at all easy to identify and this is one I'm not sure of. Could it be Fryeria rueppelii?
The specimen was photographed on 16 October 1992 at a depth of 5m on a coastal fringe reef at 'Black Mountain', about 550km south of Jeddah [Saudi Arabia, Red Sea]. It was 25mm in length.
Thanks for all your help.
John.

Yes this is Fryeria rueppelii. I am also impressed that you got the spelling correct. Every time I see a species with Rueppel's name in it I have to check the spelling as there have been numerous mispellings in the scientific literature, and I must admit I am never too confident I have it right. [See my comments below].
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
