Dendrodoris krebsii from Florida

Hello,

I came across these animals in shallow intertidal waters on South Florida's Atlantic coast. Not sure what they are. I was hoping someone can assist in identifying these?

Dear Jay

These are both considered colour forms of Dendrodoris krebsii. I must say that the animal in the lower photo reminds me of Dendrodoris grandiflora from the eastern Atlantic, but as I mention in a separate message [#20743 ] Angel Valdes can find no anatomical differences.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
