Dear Bill
Just look at this beauty I photographed last weekend! I would love to know its name. I cannot find anything like it in any of my books.
Locality: South Coast KwaZulu/Natal - SOUTH AFRICA. Park Rynie. Rocky Reef - 25m, November 1999. Size: 55mm.

Fraser, V., 1999 (Nov 15) Chromodoris roboi? from Sth Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1522Dear Valda,
I think this is another interesting find. I am pretty sure it is Chromodoris roboi or at least something very closely related to it. If you look through the messages on C. roboi you will see it is quite varaible in colour.
It was only named last year and has only been reported from the western Pacific so your find is a major jump in its known distribution.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
