Chromodoris luteorosea from Tunisia

Dear Bill,
First, congratulations on your website. Here are some photos of a seaslug found in Mediterranean Sea, near the city of Port El Kantaoui (Tunisia) on August 2003
We have seen it at 16m depth and size approximately 40mm.
Do you think it is Chromodoris luteorosea?

Mansuy, N.& B., 2003 (Aug 21) Chromodoris luteorosea from Tunisia. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/10792Dear Nathalie & Benoit,
This is indeed Chromodoris luteorosea. You can also see traces of white specks on the gills of the upper photo. As I discuss in Marina's earlier message, white specks seem to be quite common in this species, suggesting that these specks are not a good way of distinguishing this species from Chromodoris luteopunctata.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
