From: Drew Taylor

Dear Bill,
Here is another colour variation of Hypselodoris bullocki from Exmouth ( North West Cape, Western Australia) to cmpare with my earlier photos.

This photo was taken in August 2000 at a depth of 14m in Lighthouse Bay.

Dear Drew,
These are definitely an interesting group of animals. I find it interesting that most amateurs with more than a passing interest in nudibranchs, feel as I do, that all these 'colour forms' are somehow related, despite the fairly distinct differences in colour pattern.

Any further help with 'biological clues' such as egg masses, sponge feeding etc, is always welcome.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
