Note added 20 June 20007: This is probably a juvenile Dendrodoris carbunculosa [see message #20053]

Dear Cory,
It certainly has similarities to Erwin Koehler's photo [#412] but that animal seems to have a rigid mantle and the tubercles already have secondary tubercles developing. I may be wrong but Ken Tucker's animal looks quite soft, like a species of Chromodoris or a Dendrodoris, like D. nigra, rather than a tough leathery species like D. carbunculosa.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
