Dear, Bill
Can U please let me know what the name of this Pleurobranchus is??? I have seen the photo in SEA SLUGS of Western Australia. But I still feel confused about the blue ring colour. While in the book doesn't have it.
Thanks

This is Pleurobranchus mamillatus . There is another a species, Pleurobranchus forskalii, which also has large rings on its back but if present they are white not coloured. Also in this species the rings encircle a large tubercle, which although not obvious in your specimen, make it quite different from P. forskalii
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
