Comment from Richard Willan on photo #2682
Some species of Platydoris are quite difficult to separate just from above (Platydoris formosa, Platydoris ellioti, Platydoris cinerobranchiata). They really need a photo showing the pigmentation pattern on the underside as well for certain identification.

Comment from Richard Willan on photo #2482
A slightly atypical individual that has some discrete blood-red spots in addition to the ‘regular’ red-brown blotching.
