Hi Bill,
Concerning the message on Marionia levis from Mombasa [#13785] :
I attached a photo of what I believe to be a Marionia levis from the Red Sea. I'm not sure though. These nudis are very common around here lately.

I stopped taking photos of this species months ago, so I don't remember the exact place, date, and depth for this one. sorry.

Locality: Eilat bay, Israel, Red Sea. Photographer: Oren Lederman

Dear Oren,
Thanks for this record. From it and the other messages I am posting today you can see it is quite variable in colour, but there are always transverse brown lines across the back and often dark brown specks on the gill stalks. Some appear to be narrower than others, but I assume that it a question of what position they are in when photographed.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
