Dear Bill,
Enclosed is another unknown nudibranch, found several years ago at Eilat, Red Sea.
I could not find any hint in your gallery. Hope it is something new.

Dafni, J., 2002 (May 6) Ceratosoma sinuata from the Red Sea. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6822Note added 30 April 2007: Until now on the Forum C. sinuata and C. flavicostata have been considered forms of one species. See message #19854 where they and C. magnifica are considered separate species.
Dear Jacob,
I am pretty sure that this is the green and yellow-spotted form ofCeratosoma sinuata. I have some difficulty in accepting all these colour forms are the same species, but our state of knowledge at the moment suggests they are.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
