Comment from Richard Willan on photo #10734
The name Platydoris striata has recently been formally synonymised under Platydoris cruenta even though the population in the Red Sea never has any red blotches dorsally or ventrally on the mantle. The relationship should be re-investigated using DNA.Locality:
