Roseblum; MB28-004597, ZWH, 23 Jun. 2012, 16m, 5mm; MHN-YT794, ZA51, 12 Jun. 2013, 13m, 6mm; MB28-0 0 4979, ZRP, 23 Mar. 2015, 0.5m, 6mm; MB28-004995, ZRP, 0 5 May 2015, 0.3m, 5mm; MB28-004438, ZRP, 20 Jun. 2015, 0.5m, 18mm.

Habitats. Subtropical tidal reefs and rocky reefs.

Occurrences. Zavora.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west Pacific. Australia (Nimbs & Smith 2016), Tanzania (Eliot 1905) and Mozambique.

Remarks. Cratena lineata has lines on the dorsum (Eliot 1905) whereas specimens from Mozambique have spots. These might be a variation of Cratena lineata (Gosliner et al. 2015) , which was originally described from Tanzania (Eliot 1905). Further studies are needed in order to confirm its identity.
