Locality: Port Alfred, 1 foot, South Africa, Indian Ocean, 01 April 2007, natural tidal pool. Length: 30 mm. Photographer: Dave Ellis.

Dear Dave,
Your animal is Godiva quadricolor. When ever I see a photo of this animal from South Africa, I am more convinced that the nudibranch which has at times been identified as this species from Australia, is really Godiva rachelae. See my earlier comments [#16770 ].

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
