Glossodoris atromarginata from Western Australia

May 4, 2000
From: Jean-Paul Koninx

Dear Bill,
Here is another photograph from a recent dive trip to the Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth, West Australia.

It was taken at 14m, 'NorthWest Reef', March 30, 2000. It reminds me of Glossodoris atromarginata, but this one is paler and the mantle is rolled up rather than curly. Do you know what it is? The bottom photo shows the same slug in top view.

Thanks!
Jean-Paul Koninx

Dear Jean-Paul,
This is Glossodoris atromarginata. It has quite a variety of colour forms many of which are illustrated on the G. atromarginata page or in the accompanying messages, which are below yours on this page.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
