Hi Bill
Thank you very much to Lucas, Peter and you Bill for helping me to the ID of this dorid (Geitodoris planata?). The locality you added is correct. This dive site in the "lagoon" of Thau is always the same small place, may be 100 square meter. I try to spend 6-10 hours under water by month because it is a little far from my home (350km), but it is the first time I saw this species or the eggs during 2 years of exploration here. The biodiversity in this place is very important and specific. The sponges are abundant and in fact I suspect a Mycale species to be near the place I found the dorid. Next time I will try to collect a peace of sponge to Peter.
To come back to our dorid, I am almost certain to have seen the characteristic oral tentacles on the underside of the animal and the texture was like you describe for the Geitodoris planata : crisp, hard and very flat.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre
