Dondice occidentalis from Southern Bahamas
November 25, 2003
From: Anne DuPont
Dear Bill,
This photo of Dondice occidentalis was taken off Stocking Island, Exumas, Bahamas in February, 2003.
I was snorkeling in about 3 feet of water when I found it crawling on the sand. It was about one inch long,
Colin Redfern has photos of Dondice occidentalis in his book Bahamian Seashells from the northern Bahamas, and I was delighted to find this one in the southern Bahamas. This was the only specimen I found.
Cordially,
Anne DuPont

DuPont, A., 2003 (Nov 25) Dondice occidentalis from Southern Bahamas. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/11497Thanks Anne,
Apart from a new record, it's good to get photos of more animals as we are starting to find intermediate colour forms which are linking the more extreme colour patterns together.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
