Dear Bill,
Thank you that you answered my message about the Spanish Dancer. I know that the Phyllidia is not your favorite sea slug to identify but I found a sea slug which I thought was a Phyllidia zeylanica but now I doubt. I attach a picture which is not of very good quality.
Regards from Comoros

Safonova, V., 2002 (Jun 27) Reticulidia suzanneae from Comoros. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/7361Dear Valeria,
Thanks for this interesting find. Phyllidiids are not my favourite group to try an identify from photos because we still a lot to learn about them so it is never easy to be sure. However a few of them are quite easy and that includes this one, which has only recently been named. This is Reticulidia suzanneae. Most records are from Thailand, but there is a message on the Forum from Bernard Picton, with a photo of a specimen from Pemba Island, which is not that far up the east African coast from Comoros.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
