Dear Valda,
I am getting there. I am trying to get a revision of the genus Gymnodoris finished by the end of the year. This white species is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. The furthest west I have a rcord is from Madagascar, so South Africa completes the picture. It is Gymnodoris sp. 5 in the Forum.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
