First record of Aeolidiella alba from Reunion Island

Concerning message #20555:
Dear Bill,
Here is probably Aeolidiella alba. It is the first observation of this species from Reunion Island. The red ring around the base of the rhinophores isn't clearly visible. But I confirm that this aeolid moved with a jerking or jumping movement. I look forward your input.
Locality: Etang-Salé Rocky Coast, 1 metre, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 4 September 2007. Length: 8-10 mm. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.
Thanks again.
Regards.
Hugues.

Dear Hugues,
This looks almost identical to the animal I have photographed from nearby Tanzania [see Fact Sheet]. The red pigmentation in this animal forms a narrow ring around the rhinophores rather than a big smudged patch, as seen in some specimens.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
