Dear Jun,
Thanks for this photo. It is a useful addition to our knowledge. I have also included a close-up of the the head as it shows the fine tubercles all over the mantle which, if you look at other photos on the Forum, seem to be a feature of this species. They remind me of the tubercles Jean-Pierre Bielecki recently illustrated for the Mediterranean species Hypselodoris orsinii.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
