Mrutzek, M., 2002 (Sep 26) Fryeria rueppelii from Egypt. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8040Dear Michael,
Many of the photos you have sent are of the nudibranch family Phyllididae. These are often quite common, or at least very visible during the day, because they retain noxious chemicals from their sponge food in their own tissues, much like the ovulid in your earlier message. This species is Fryeria rueppelii, a species which is only known from the Red Sea.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
