From: Valda Fraser

Dear Bill,
My friend Dennis King took this photo and unfortunately it's a very sad one - wrong setting on the camera. A problem we have all experienced! Can you help with identification? I'm at a loss.

Location: Durban, South Africa, 25m
Size: 20mm
Date: January 2002

Thanks.

Dear Valda,
I am pretty sure this is Chromodoris tumulifera. It fits the colour pattern of Chromodoris kitae from Madagascar, but as I comment elsewhere, the colour differences are so slight that I think C. kitae falls within the colour range of C. tumulifera.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
