Right, i think i may have a bit of a task on my hand.
I am putting some pics together from my recent dive trip to Mauritius and i would like to identify these 3 species of Nudibranch. I am trawling the web for images and i cant believe how many there are!!!
These are the 3. If anyone has a book or a handy website let me know! Thanks in advance!

:confused: Hi,

From the top you've got shots of:

Phyllidia ocellata (lots of different colour and pattern variants of this exist)

Phylidiella sp. (possibly rosans but not too sure on this one as it should have 6 white lines on a black background but I can't quite see enough lines from the photo)

Notodoris sp. (looks like citrina, but this may not be likely given the reported range of Indonesia to Australia, and may actually be minor, but without any obvious black lines)

All appear in "Nudibranchs and Sea Snails Indo-Pacifc Field Guide" Helmut Debelius published by IKAN.

Cheers,
Tristan
