Dear Bill,

Here are some photos what I think of Diaphorodoris mitsuii (Baba, 1938)from Sth Korea.

This animal was taken by my friend at Bum islet, at that time he observed 5~6 guys in small area.

Locality:  Bum islet. Seogwipo. Jeju, South Korea. Depth: 15 m.  Length: Approx.10 mm. 12 Aug. 2005. Stony. Photographer: Sung Han Cho

I'm not sure although attached 2 animals look like mating?

Dear Koh,
Yes this is Diaphorodoris mitsuii. In the photo alongside the median ridge on the posterior part of the foot is very easy to see. Although they certainly look 'friendly' the two animals have their left sides together so they can't be mating.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
