Concerning message #21633:

Dear Bill,
The Chromodoris geminus in the first picture has much smaller ocelli than the one in the second picture; or the ones shown on the C. geminus page on your forum. Please note also, a few red ocelli (first picture), that I also found in a some other C. geminus pictures on your forum.

Locality: Bali, Tulamben. Dive site Drop Off, 15, Indonesia, 29 September 2008, Reef on vulcanic rock. Length: 5 cm. Photographer: Marcel Tanke.

Best regards,
Marcel

Dear Marcel,

Your mention od size and colour pof spots reminede me of an on-going discussion about this in Risbecia tryoni. Have a look at message #16573 and the earlier messages it refers to. Chromodoris kuniei also shows a considerable difference in size of spots [see message #5811]. I also vaguely remember discussing the possibility of dark purple or black spots turning the red as an artifact of artificial light - like 'red eye' in photos of people, but can't find that discussion.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
