Fraser, V., 2000 (Jan 24) Bornella stellifer from South Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1719Dear Valda,
Quite a few names have been given to animals which are now usually considered to be Bornella stellifer. The colour of the reticulate pattern varies from dull yellow brown to bright orange and can range from a few scattered patches and irregular lines to a distinct network all over the body. It also appears that the length of the papillae is proportionally longer in smaller specimens.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
