Buyukbaykal, F., 2003 (Jan 26) Discodoris lilacina from Turkey. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8941Dear ferda,
As far aa I can see from the photo, I suspect this is the Indo-West Pacific species, Discodoris lilacina, which has been recorded a number of times from the Mediterranean, usually under the synonym Discodoris fragilis. Another lessepsian migrant.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
