Pleurobranchus albiguttatus from Israel

November 16, 2003
From: Michael Levin

Hi Bill,
I photographed this slug during a night dive at 'The caves' reef, Eilat (Gulf of Aqaba), Red Sea.

At a depth of 10 meter, during mid August 2003.

I wonder if it is Pleurobranchus peroni ?

Thanks ahead,
and thank you for your wonderful forum.

Dear Michael,
It looks quite like P. peroni but the larger dark brown tubercles with a white line down one side are a unique feature found only in Pleurobranchus albiguttatus
Best wishes
