Deomurari, A.B., 2006 (Jul 4) Bornella stellifer from Gulf of Kutch , Gujarat, India. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/17016Dear Arpit,
This is Bornella stellifer. I also found this species at Pirotan Island, but in 1971. It has a wide distribution throughout the Indo-West Pacific, and feeds on small hydroids found growing over and under small rocks.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
