Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #2123
This is Fryeria rueppelii, as evidenced by the yellow margin. the specimen is rather darker than normal, but well within the variation for the species.

Comment from Nathalie Yonow on photo #2509
A perfect example, again an endemic species to the Red Sea.

Comment from Richard Willan on photo #2122
Similar to Phyllidia picta, but Phyllidia rueppelii always has gold band at the mantle edge. Phyllidia rueppelii is endemic to the Red Sea.
