| Hi Johan: Got a pic from Danie Retief of this same species (white dorid, orange-tipped rhinophores.) I went and looked again, and there's a species, Noumea sp. - i.e. undescribed, in Gosliner's Indo-Pacific nudibranchs and seaslugs, which is found in Natal and is similar - differences are a few orange spots, and a thin orange line around the margin - I would guess the one you sent me is a variation on that topic - likely new species, but also a Noumea. Regards, Guido -- Guido Zsilavecz Chief naturalist Southern Underwater Research Group www.surg.co.za Hi Guido Need your help again I photgraphed this nudi this morning and cannot ID it It was about 15mm long and in 16m waters My first thought was Lady Elizabeth (Glossodoris sp4) then Velvet dorid (Jorunna tomentosa) but the orange end of the rhinophores got me Can you help Regards Johan |
