Hi
I am new to the forum, and discovered this magnificent little guy in a rock pool off the Umkomaas Beach, south of Durban, South Africa. I have tried all available references, but cannot find it. Can you help?
Locality: Umkomaas Beach, south of Durban, KwaZulu Natal, 1 m, South Africa, Indian Ocean, 04 April 2008, Intertidal rocky pool. Length: 12 mm. Photographer: Peter Small.
Regards
Peter

This is a juvenile Dendrodoris denisoni. It is quite variable in colour and often the juveniles are more brightly coloured than the adults.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
