A Phyllidiella from Cairns

May 27, 1998
From: Michael Dyck

I found these Nudibranchs around Saxon Reef, near Cairns, North Queensland. I can't find them in any of my books and I was wondering if they were common to you. The photo's aren't great so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

By chance yours is the second question about Phyllidiella pustulosa this week. I am pretty sure all your specimens are the same species, which as I say above is very common and ranges in colour from white to pink to green. There are a number of similarly coloured species of Phyllidiella but I would need better photos, specimens and information on such things as the colour of the head tentacles (rhinophores) to be 100% sure. ..
