Aphelodoris from Perth

April 9, 2002
From: Glen Cowans

Hello Bill
Here is a Nudi that I photographed off Rottnest Island [off Perth, Western Australia] in about 30mtrs of water. The skin is translucent but alas does not come up too clearly in the images. You can also note (just) that you can see a yellowishness inside the body. Sorry I did not get it as a sample.
Regards
Glen Cowans

Dear Glen,
Your animal looks like it could be a species of Aphelodoris. If so it is not a species I am familiar with and may be an unnamed species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
