To complement my message on Platydoris pulchra from Tanzania [#22489] , here is a photo of Platydoris ellioti from Dar es Salaam.

Locality: Under sewer pipe, Ocean Road Beach, entrance to harbour, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. 16 September 1974. 1 specimen approx 50 mm long alive. Photo: Bill Rudman.

The underside was a bright orange yellow with a row of dark brown spots forming a ring around the mantle skirt about midway between the mantle edge and the body.  There were also son smaller brown spots on the side of the foot.
