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.

Yahia, Mokhtar, 2008 (Feb 15) Fryeria rueppelii from the Gulf of Oman. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/21262Dear 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
