Koehler, E., 2002 (Feb 1) Polycerid from South Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6146Dear Erwin,
According to Terry Gosliner, Polycera capensis in South Africa sometimes lacks any black pigmentation, so I guess that is what it is. I can't remember any Australian specimens without black. If anyone in eastern Australia happens upon a 'colony' of P. capensis it would be an interesting thing to check on.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
