Gymnodoris rubropapulosa from the Philipines

June 16, 2002
From: Fredy Brauchli

Hello Bill
Here is another interesting record. I am pretty sure that it is Gymnodoris rubropapulosa. As far as I know, it is uncommon that the spots are replaced by pale, light red rings. Nevertheless I think that it is another colour variant.

This image was taken at Pandan Island, Occ. Mindoro, Philippines.
Size: ca. 3,5 cm, depth: 13m, place: Canyons, date: April 1st 2002 .

Kind regards,
Fredy
