Unusual color pattern in Phyllidia ocellata
September 2, 2001
From: Mary Jane Adams
Hi Bill
I didn't recognize this slug when I first saw it. After studying my photographs, I think it is Phyllidia ocellata with an unusual color pattern. I saw a lot of P. ocellata in the Lembeh Straits. All of them had the typical western Pacific pattern except this one. Length: 23 mm, Depth: about 10 meters.
Divesite: Magic Cracks, Lembeh Straits, Sulawesi, Indonesia, Aug. 12, 2001.
Best regards,
Mary Jane

I would agree that this is a colour form of P. ocellata.
