Glossodoris cincta from South Africa

July 14, 2003
From: Rudolph van Jaarsveld

Hi Bill,
Please assist in the identification of this slug. I took the photo at Sodwana Bay, South Africa in May 2003 at a depth of 15 meters.

This photo was taken with an 80mm lens plus close-up lens.

Regards,
Rudolph.

Dear Rudolph,
This is the Indian Ocean form of Glossodoris cincta. I have a photo of this form from Tanzania on the species Fact Sheet. It is good to get further photos of this colour form. Gradually we should get a better picture of the colour variability of this species throughout its broad geographic range
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
