Pleurobranchus grandis from the Red Sea

April 22, 2002
From: Marina Poddubetskaia

Dear Bill,
Here is another photos from my trip, at the end of March, in Egypt. It was a dive cruise at the North of Red Sea, between Hurghada and Sinai mountains. I think this is the dark form of Pleurobranchus grandis.

Data: about 15-20cm, 17 March 2002, "Umm Esh" / North Red Sea, 14m depth, night dive
Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
Yes this is the dark colour form of P. randis. There are already a couple of photos on the Forum, one from the Red Sea, of this colour form.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
