Aldisa sp from Reunion island

From: Philibert Bidgrain
Dear Bill,
Reunion Island sea slugs.
David Caron found this specimen. It look likes Aldisa sp 1 and Aldisa sp 2 with the presence of two large crater-like depressions and small pustules on the mantle. We can also observe a yellow margin on the foot ( posterior end)
Locality: Cap la Houssaye, Reunion Island, 3 m, indian ocean. Length: 20 mm. Photographer: David Caron
What's your opinion about this Aldisa?
Best Regards
Philibert Bidgrain

Bidgrain, P., 2006 (Apr 12) Aldisa sp from Reunion island. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/16280Dear Philibert,
I am pretty sure your animal is the same as the one in message #5887 from Sth Africa, which I am calling Aldisa sp 4. The size of the 'craters' is quite remarkable making the animal very sponge-like.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
