Dendrodoris from South Africa

September 10, 2002
From: Linda Penny

Dear Dr Rudman,
We can't decide whether this is a Dendrodoris carbunculosa or a Dendrodoris tuberculosa. What is your opinion? It was photographed by Laurette Hanekom off Sodwana, South Africa.

Many thanks,
Linda

Dear Linda,
You don't give me a size, but I guess since it can't fit in the frame, it was quite large. From the dark patches you can see, and the fact that there is some space between the tubercles, I am pretty sure this is Dendrodoris carbunculosa.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
