Hi Bill,
I hope this will be useful !!! I think I have some pics of Hypselodoris zebrina or Hypselodoris kanga or Hypselodoris infucata!!! Which one is what?
All filmed at Boonsung wreck, Taplamu, Thailand. Depth between 12m to 20m.

They are quite common on this divesite "the Boonsung Wreck" but only on this site and nowhere else !!! I've made about 1500 dives in the area of the Andaman Sea - Thailand.

Best regards
Danny

Thanks Danny,
Your photos are an excellent addition to Priscilla's photo and certainly confirm in my mind that this species is Alder & Hancock's H. zebrina. The absence of a purple median line in Priscilla's photo was a major difference from the original painting, but your photos show that the line can be present or absent. This is a very valuable contribution.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
