Two different species?

4 posts
  1. After looking at the photos from last night I think these might be two different species of Aplysia parvula. The coloration on the head is different and the banding of the wavy things on the back is also different.

     

    Version One:

    And version two, this one has spacing between his back wavy-things and this coloration is very different:

  2. Pteraeolidia ianthina & Phidiana indica?

     

    Aplysia are another type of opisthobranch.
