Thanks Oren,
There are very few records of this species from the Indian Ocean. The only ones I can think of are Nathalie Yonow's (2000) photographic record from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Red Sea, and a couple of messages on the Forum from Reunion Island.

  • Yonow, N. (2000) Red Sea Opisthobranchia 4: The orders Cephalaspidea, Anaspidea, Notaspidea and Nudibranchia: Dendronotacea and Aeolidacea. Fauna of Arabia, 18: 87-131.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
