Ringed Gymnodoris rubropapulosa

March 26, 2001
From: Drew Taylor

Dear Bill,
I have attached a photo of what I believe to be Gymnodoris rubropapulosa.

During the months of September - November, 2000 I came across this species numerous times while diving in the Exmouth Gulf [NW Australia]. Each time I observed this species it was showing orange rings and not orange spots.

The depth range was between 3-8 metres and I have not seen it since.

Regards
Drew Taylor

Thanks Drew,
Yes I am sure its G. rubropapulosa, but it's good to get another record of this ringed colour form.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
