Concerning message #16985:
Dear Bill,
I am sending the pictures of a seaslug I identified as Archidoris pseudoargus as I couldn't see any clear stellar pattern on its back.
There were several specimens and eggs coils. These are also very similar to the eggs coils of Platydoris argo.
Locality: Barcarès, 20 m, France, Mediterranean sea, 13 may 2007, Artificial reef on sand. Length: 7 cm. Photographer: Sylvie Grall.
I'd very much appreciate if anybody could confirm this ID.
Thank you.
Sylvie.

Dear Sylvie,
From this far away I need some local help. I suspect it is Archidoris pseudoargus from the mantle tubercles, which are in two sizes, and the uniform orange colour of the underside. However I would appreciate some confirmation from a local expert.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
