Jaarsveld, R., 2003 (Feb 7) Bonisa nakaza - yellow form?. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/9165

Dear Rudolph,
In your other message I said we all learn from the identification process and this is a good example. Your other photos were of the yellow and blue form of Bonisa nakaza. I think this photo is also of Bonisa nakaza but a colour form which lacks the blue pigment and has the yellow restricted to the ceratal tips. I have never seen this colour form so I will be interested in having it confirmed by Terry Gosliner, who named this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
