Fryeria rueppelii from the Gulf of Oman

February 15, 2008
From: Yahia Mokhtar

This Nudibranch was photographed two days ago while diving Dibba Rock, UAE. Could it be: Phyllidia varicosa?

Sorry I could not get better focused pictures due to the drift around the rock.

Locality: Dibba Rock, 10m, Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, Gulf of Oman, Indian Ocean, 02 December 2007, gravel. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Yahia Mokhtar.

Dear Yahia,

This is Fryeria rueppelii, a phyllidiid nudibranch which until quite recently was known only from the Red Sea, so it is good to get another record of it from further afield.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
