Dear Bill
Please can you tell me what kind of Aldisa this is. I'm not sure if it is a variation of Aldisa sp. 4, or a separate species.
Location: Sodwana, South Africa, 15m
Date: January 2002
Size: 12mm
Thanks

Fraser, V., 2002 (Mar 26) Aldisa? from South Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6124Dear Valda,
Just looking at the photos I would say this animal is probably a colour variant of Aldisa sp. 4, but we could only be sure when their anatomy is looked at and more specimens - and possibly an intermediate - are found.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
