MB28-005016, ZRP, 0 3 Aug. 2015, 0.5m, 18mm.

Habitats. Subtropical tidal reefs and tropical coral reefs, bommies and seagrass, active at night and under rocks during the day, always in shallow waters.

Occurrences. Zavora and Nuarro.

Geographic distribution. Western Indian Ocean (Gosliner et al. 2015) and likely India ( Bhave & Apte 2011) . Madagascar (Gosliner et al. 2008), South Africa ( Gosliner 1987; Gosliner et al. 2008) and Mozambique .

Remarks. This species is similar to the one listed in Gosliner et al. (2015) as Berthellina sp. (p. 107, right bottom photo) from the western Indian Ocean. Externally, it differs from B. delicata reviewed by Moustafa et al. (2016) by the dense white spots on the dorsum.
