Glossodoris cruenta from Solomons

Bill,
I am sending you a photo of Glossodoris cruenta which, as the name suggests, should have red spots. This particular one had black spots instead.

It was filmed at the "Wreck of the Anne" dive site in the Russell islands, in the Solomons. It was at about 8 meters, on a mixed rubble and coral site.

Dear Bruce,
It certainly looks like G. cruenta. Any chance of the black being a trick of light absorption or the vide film? Failing that I guess we have a interesting peculiarity.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
