Dear Bill,
Concerning the message of Pleurobranchus mamillatus [#13658], I got more photos from my friend. Although they show different color form, I'm pretty sure they are the same species.
Locality: Bum islet. Seogwipo. Jeju. South Korea. Depth: 25 m. Length: Approx.17 cm. 12 July 2005. Muddy. Photographer: Sung Han Cho

Koh, D. B. , 2005 (Aug 22) Another form of Pleurobranchus mamillatus. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14601Dear Koh,
Thanks for these photos. They show the extreme range of colour variation and the amazing tubercles this species has. It certainly has similarities to the Mediterranean P. testudinarius. I have included a close-up alongside that shows the pink rings encircling the base of some tubercles, just as in P. testudinarius.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
