Concerning message #20650:

Dear Bill,
Here is another record of Aeolidiella alba from Reunion Island. We can see the red patch between rhinophores. It is the second specimen that I have seen in the same area.

Locality: Etang-Salé, 50 cm, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 11 May 2008, Night. Length: 12 mm. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.

Best regard.

Dear Hugues,

Thanks for the record. It's strange how the red pigmentation changes and moves around the anterior end of the body. It is clearly not a geographic change as in your earlier specimen, and a specimen from nearby Tanzania [see Fact Sheet], the red pigmentation is restricted to a red ring around the base of the rhinophores.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
