Diversidoris aurantionodulosa from South Africa

March 10, 2006
From: Colin Ogden

Hi Bill,
I need to bug you again about a nudi I can't ID. It reminds me of a Glossodoris pallida, but with the colours reversed, it appeared to be feeding, but my photos don't show evidence of this

Locality: Sodwana Bay, 16 m, South Africa, Indian, 24 Feb, coral reef. Length: 25mm. Photographer: Colin Ogden.

Thanks for you comments on the C. mandapamensis, and we will keep looking.
regards
Colin

Dear Colin,
Although it is yellow, I am pretty sure this is Diversidoris aurantionodulosa. The general shape and the papillae on the mantle are typical of the species, and I have found yellow examples like this in Australia.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
