Hi Bill,
This colourful little fellow was photographed on a dive site called Vatosoa, Madagascar, we believe it is an Aldisa?
Locality: Mangilly, 8 meters, Madagascar, Mozambique, 17th sept 2009, shallow reef. Length: 2-3 cms. Photographer: Les Clear.

Clear,L, 2009 (Nov 27) Aldisa sp. 4 from Madagascar. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/22881Dear Les,
I am pretty sure this is the animal I have been calling Aldisa sp. 4. All the records of it are from the western Indian Ocean. First one I've seen with such spectacular blue. Is the blue speckling a pigment or is it a flourescence effect from the lighting you were using?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
