Hi Bill,
Took me a while, but I found the pictures of the black Chelidonura flavolobata with white lobes. The lobes in this speciman were white rather than yellow.

Locality: "The University", Eilat, Israel, Red Sea. Depth: ~15 m. Length: ~3-4 cm. April 2004. corals. Photographer: Oren Lederman

Dear Oren,
Thanks for these photos. They add to a couple of points I made in reply to your last message [#13356]. Firstly your two lower photos show the black line along the yellow lobes that I mentioned, and secondly, these black animals were found on living coral outcrops, rather than in sand, which seems to be where you find the light brown form. It looks like the black ones can have white or yellow lobes.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
