Dendrodoris limbata from Tunisia
May 7, 2003
From: Anis
Dear Bill,
I found this sea slug in a coastal lagoon, "Lac de Tunis" [south section] in Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa. Depth: 0 to 1m some time between January and March, 2003.
Can you identify it please.
Thanks,
Anis

I am pretty sure this is a black colour form of Dendrodoris limbata. Angel Valdes discusses the differences between Dendrodoris species in the Mediterranean in an earlier message. As he mentions there, all three species from your region have a red juvenile colour form. I suspect the reddish animal in your other message is a juvenile Dendrodoris limbata.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
