Analogium striatum from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt
Identification verified by Richard Willan
 

Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert

Comment from Richard Willan: The gills are arranged in a transverse row across the back in this species (nicely shown in this photo) and also in Analogium amakusanum, which is why they are both presently placed in the genus Analogium rather than Gymnodoris (in which the gills are arranged in a circle as in all other dorids).
 

Comment from the photographer: 27.6.01, Nikon F90X film camera with 105 mm lens and ring flash
