Phyllidiopsis cardinalis from Reunion Island

From: Hugues Flodrops

Concerning message #18064:

Dear Bill,
I found this slug few years ago at Tour de Boucan.

Locality: Tour de Boucan, 15 metres, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 3 Aout 2003. Length: 40 mm. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.

I think it is a Phyllidiopsis cardinalis with another pattern. The specimen spotted by Y. Coze [#11574] is more orange. Here, the rhinophores are deep yellow in colour with the outer edge of the lamellae olive.
Thank's for your confirmation.
Best regards.
Hugues.

Dear Hugues,
Yes this is just a colour form on P. cardinalis.
Best wishes,
