Dear Bill,
Here is another dorid from our coastal lagoon, "Lac de Tunis" [south section] in Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa. Depth: 0 to 1m some time between January and March, 2003.
Can you identify it please.
Thanks,
Jamila Ben Souissi and Anis Eters

My first thought was Doris verrucosa but that species has a number of large tubercles surrounding the gill pocket, and I can see no sign of them in your photos. Another possibility is Doris ocelligera Bergh, 1881, but as I don't have any personal knowledge of that species I would prefer to wait for comments from a colleague with firsthand knowledge of these species
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
