Gymnodoris rubropapulosa? from Singapore
March 14, 2002
From: John Yap Yee Kee
Hi Bill,
Here's a couple of shots I took at the south islands of Singapore yesterday {March, 2002].
Though I'm pretty sure it's the Gymnodoris rubropapulosa, the pale color of it's rhinophores cast a lingering doubt. And it wasn't moving as fast as described in your messages. In fact, I waited for a shot with a different posture, but could only settle for a different angle.
Cheers!
John Yap,
Singapore.

Yes this is Gymnodoris rubropapulosa. Sometimes there is no orange on the rhinophores. Concerning its 'sluggishness' - even though gymnodorids are 'hunters' and can move at times quite quickly, they also spend a lot of time meditating.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
