Ron Silver Chromodoris quadricolor on a red sponge, likley their food source.

Amir Abramovich Thanks Ron . First I spot the sponge and then most likely there is a nudi there or in its meer proximity .

Ron Silver Good strategy. Follow the bread crumbs.....if you can learn a critter's food source, you can certainly greatly increase your chances of finding what you are looking for!

Manuel Martínez Chacón El problema es encontrar esto por Tarifa.

João Pedro Silva Ainda há dias, no grupo Nudibase, alguém estava muito contente por haver mais espécies "mais coloridas" no Líbano. A mim preocupa-me o que estes invasores podem fazer às espécies autóctones.

Wolfgang Rotschek Chromodoris magnifica? Red Sea, depth approx 10m

Gary Cobb This is Chromodoris africana Eliot, 1904

Wolfgang Rotschek Thanks for the correction. Found the difference now.

Sven Kahlbrock We have three pretty similar in our area, Ch. quadricolor, africana & strigata. always fun to divide.

Erwin Koehler Maybe worth to mention: Ch. quadricolor is a very common species in the Red Sea. I think many IDs of Ch. africana, are doubtful! I remember how often Bill Rudman moved some of my pictures from here to there, until they rest now in the frozen sea slug forum as Chromodoris quadricolor. I don't remember where did I read it, but Nathalie Yonow wrote that Ch. africana has an almost black appearance in the field. Ginoo ko! (Visayan: My GOD!)

Gary Cobb Both species are found in the Red Sea. I have always separated them "visually" by the colouration in between the black stripes. White is C. africana and blue is C. quadricolor. In this case Erwin you might be right because of the wide margin. C. quadricolor generally has a wider margin. Morphologically speaking of course we are simply guessing when species are so close in appearance. We desperately need a small handheld DNA Nudibranch sampling device usable on site!!

Evie Go

Gary Cobb Translation: Nudibranchs and tiny animals that populate the ocean depths. They are my passion, have a spectacular color and detail. I call it pokemons are as varied as those children's drawings.

Gary Cobb Where was this animal found? It could be Chromodoris magnifica or Chromodoris quadricolor.

Evie Go Gary Cobb, pls look at d whole album..They're all amazing nudi pics!!
