Phyllidia babai? from North Sulawesi
August 20, 2008
From: Marli Wakeling
Hi Bill,
I think this is Phyllidia babai. It was found on the same site as the other mystery Phyllidia I sent in [message #21800], but has more typical colouration of P. babai, with the black rings.
Locality: Bunaken Marine Park, 40 feet, Sulawesi, Indonesia, Indo-Pacific, 22 July 2008, Wall. Length: 20 mm. Photographer: Marli Wakeling.
Cheers,
Marli

Wakeling, M., 2008 (Aug 20) Phyllidia babai? from North Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/21802Dear Marli,
My comments in your earlier message [#21800] are equally relevant to this message. As you say this best fits P. babai, but I suspect P. willani, P. exquisita and P. babai are white forms of P. ocellata.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
