Flabellina bicolor from the Red Sea

From: Binyamin Koretz

Dear Bill,
Assuming that this is Flabellina bicolor, it's previously reported from the Red Sea but I noticed that all the messages on the Forum were from the Pacific.

Locality: Eilat, Princess Beach, Israel. Red Sea (Gulf of Eilat). Depth: 25 m.
Length: 1.5 cm. 22 December 2005. corals. Photographer: Binyamin and Shulamit Koretz

Best regards

Thanks Binyamin,
It's nice to have an Indian Ocean example on the Forum. Your photo shows the flattened 'paddle-shaped' oral tentacles rather well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
