Bill,
one more photo by Klaus Stark-
email: K.Stark@t-online.de
It was taken at:
Philippines, Negros Is., Dauin, 26m depth, March 1999, size 27mm.
I think it is Hypselodoris infucata or H. obscura.
Thanks
Erwin

Koehler, E., 1999 (Apr 23) Hypselodoris kanga from the Philippines. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/800Dear Erwin,
It is in fact Hypselodoris kanga which, from the photos on the Forum, is turning out to be quite variable in colour. One good character is the shape of the gills and their colour. If you cut through a gill it is triangular in cross-section, the outer 'side' being smooth, not lamellate, and with a pattern of white or yellow oval spots.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
