Dear Bill,
Here is a photo of Phyllidia ocellata which I took in NW Madagascar in April, 2000.

Photos of the other opisthobranchs from Madagascar can be seen at http://www.columbia.edu/~la202/Mad-opisth2000.html

Thanks Leif,
This is very similar to the colour form Nathalie Yonow (1986) described as a subspecies P. ocellata undula from the Red Sea, but just seems to be a colour form of a very variable species.
