Baeolidia variabilis Carmona, Pola, Gosliner & Cervera, 2014 View in CoL

( Figure 33 H View FIGURE 33 )

Material examined. One specimen. MB28-004739, ZRP, 19 Sep. 2013, 0.5m, 5m.

Habitats. Subtropical tidal reef.

Occurrences. Zavora.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west, central Pacific. Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Philippines ( Carmona et al. 2014b) and Mozambique.

Remarks. This species is highly variable in colour, nevertheless the external morphology matches one of the morphotypes described by Carmona et al. (2014b) with ochre reticulation on the side and a white patch on the head. This is the first record of this species to the Indian Ocean. However due to its variability and distribution, future studies would be relevant to confirm the identification of this specimen.
