Phyllidia babai? from Thailand

February 17, 2001
From: Erwin Koehler

Dear Bill,
Here is the next one from Thailand, divesite "Anemone Reef", depth 22m, size 22mm, Dec. 19, 2000.

I think some time ago I saw a similar looking
one identified as Phyllidia babai, but I can't find it again.

Dear Erwin,
I can't be sure without some more information on the foot and the anatomy, but I am pretty sure that this is Fryeria marindica. Your animal is a bit paler than normal but the pattern is almost identical to one of the photos at the top of this page.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
