Phyllidiella zeylanica from Pemba

From: Paul Young

Dear Bill,
Here is one of the nudibranchs that Charlotte and I found at Pemba Island, off the coast of Tanzania, western Indian Ocean, in November/December 2001. The species was photographed on the 29 November, on the east side of Pemba
Best wishes,

Thanks Paul,
This certainly looks like Phyllidiella zeylanica. It has black rhinophores, and the arrangement of black lines looks fairy typical for the species. I have kept this separate from the other phyllidiid you have sent a photo of because I have some doubts about that animal's identity
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
