Concerning message #15150:
Hi,
I'm doing the management plan of Dibba Marine Protected Area in Fujairah Emirate, East coast of UAE (Gulf of Oman). I take a lot of pictures during my dives, and this is a nudibranch I found in March in a sand area near a coral reef.
I think this is a Fryeria rueppelii, but I'm not sure. Can you help me identifying?
Locality: Dibba Marine Protected Area, 6 metres, Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, Gulf of Oman, 19 March 2008, sand, near coral reef. Photographer: Rita Bento.
Thanks,
Rita Bento

You don't give an indication of the size of the animal, but if is quite small, it could well be a juvenile F. rueppelii in which the yelow border is not fully developed.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
