Below is comment from Dr. Bill Rudman, go to Sea Slug Forum to read more information
Dear Jerry,
Thanks for the photo. Yes I agree that your first animal was quite different in colour and is probably a different species. However many of these species are known from only a few specimens so we still have to find out just how variable they are in colour. Since they are not that common this is quite a slow process, but sorting out these problems is what makes the study of sea slugs so interesting.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
