Hu, X.-Y.Li, E. Fernandez-Garcia, A. Ayala, A. J. Castro-Tirado (IAA-CSIC), C. Perez del Pulgar, A. Castellon, I. Carrasco (Univ. de Malaga), R. Fernandez-Munoz (IHSM/UMA-CSIC), M.D. Caballero-Garcia and M. Jelinek (ASU-CAS), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: The 60cm BOOTES-2/TELMA robotic telescope at IHSM La Mayora (UMA-CSIC) in Algarrobo Costa (Malaga, Spain) followed up GRB 181231A (Veres et al GCNC 23598). Nine images (60s exposure, unfiltered) were obtained with the COLORES imager spectrograph starting at 05:35:26 UT (~26.1 hr after trigger) in order to cover the entire Fermi/LAT error box (Dirirsa et al. GCNC 23597). No new optical sources were detected down to 18 mag. This message can be quoted.
