Reticulidia suzanneae from Comoros

From: Valeria Safonova

Dear Bill,
Thank you that you answered my message about the Spanish Dancer. I know that the Phyllidia is not your favorite sea slug to identify but I found a sea slug which I thought was a Phyllidia zeylanica but now I doubt. I attach a picture which is not of very good quality.
Regards from Comoros

Dear Valeria,
Thanks for this interesting find. Phyllidiids are not my favourite group to try an identify from photos because we still a lot to learn about them so it is never easy to be sure. However a few of them are quite easy and that includes this one, which has only recently been named. This is Reticulidia suzanneae. Most records are from Thailand, but there is a message on the Forum from Bernard Picton, with a photo of a specimen from Pemba Island, which is not that far up the east African coast from Comoros.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
