Platydoris cruenta with red and orange patches

June 24, 2002
From: Julie Marshall


Dear Bill,
Attached are two photos of Platydoris cruenta, one with the usual blood red patches on its mantle and the other with smaller orange patches. The first animal was found at Heron Island [southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland] under a dead coral slab at the reef crest, and the other one was found on nearby Wilson Island.

Best wishes,
Julie Marshall
