Hypselodoris rudmani at last
September 28, 2005
From: Colin Ogden
Hi Bill,
At last I think I have managed to find your namesake. This time I am sure it is not a Hexabranchus! [see message #14676 ] The first photo I had on our bikini reef at 22 metres and the second was taken in a rock pool at low tide by Jesse, one of our local non divers who has developed a huge love for nudibranchs and other slugs and spends his free time looking in all the rock pools.
Thanks for your comments [#14810] about the Tambja affinis, I was quite proud of that photo.
Locality: Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Indian Ocean coast. Depth: 22 metres
Length: 25 mm. August 2005. Coral reef. Photographer: Colin & Jesse

Dear Colin,
I am glad you sent two photos. The upper one certainly seems to be Hypselodoris rudmani, but the lower one is an unnamed animal I am calling Hypselodoris cf. maculosa. I have discussed this in a bit more detail in a separate message [#14850].
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
