Dear Bill,

To complete Dominique Horst's and Sandrine Bielecki's messages, here are some more photos of Discodoris rosi from French Mediterranean. Like in previous messages, the rings are barely visible but still present.

Locality: "La Faille", Port-Leucate, 13 m, France, Mediterranean, 14 April 2006. Length: 16 mm. Photographer: Marina Poddubetskaia .

We also have this species in Arcachon Bay (French Atlantic), but with obvious white rings.

Best wishes,
Marina.

Thanks Marina,

A quick glance at your photos suggests they are probably a dendrodorid but a closer look clearly shows the white rings of Discodoris rosi. These animals again seem to be on the same sponge as in earlier messages.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
