Fryeria marindica from South Africa

March 13, 2000
From: Valda Fraser

Dear Bill
This photo is awful, but hopefully you will still have "words of wisdom". I have quite a few black/white/yellow nudibranchs which are vaguely similar. I don't know whether they are variations or separate species. I've decided to start by sending this photo. I look forward to getting some feedback.
Locality: South Coast KwaZulu-Natal, SOUTH AFRICA. Shelly Beach (near Port Shepstone), 32m
Date: 5 March 2000
Size: 26mm
Regards

Dear Valda,
This is Fryeria marinidica. It is the only one of these blue and yellow species which has a distinctive median ridge or row of tubercles.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
