Chromodoris lochi

Jose Maria Abad Ortega Chromodoris lochi Lembeh 2008 Nikon D200 Inon Z240 Sigma 105 F32 1/80

Ron Silver Jose, I would suggest that this is C. willani based on the pale rhinophores and gills markings.

Jose Maria Abad Ortega Hi Ron It´s possible because C. willani and C. lochi are very similar. But seeing photos in some webs of nudibranchs I have believed that it was C.lochi, but I am not sure.

Annette Graves Apparently they are distinguished by the very prominent white specks found on the gills and rhinophores of C. willani, would not like to say either way on this one :)

Ron Silver Tunicates and a Chromodoris lochi nudibranch. Nice.

Gianluca Cucco Thank you!!!!

Marli Wakeling I have seen tons of these C. lochi and dianae wannabes. However, none have had an orange margin before. No black lines on the gills, so not C. boucheti. Any ideas welcome. Anilao, again.

Shane Siers I have the same problem with this one, Marli.

Marli Wakeling Too much lumping going on, I think.

Gary Cobb This is Chromodoris lochi

Penn Dls everywhere, year-round. Anilao, Philippines. looked like it wanted to jump off from the edge of the rock. is this common behavior among nudibranch?

Gary Cobb Chromodoris lochi does occasionally lift the front of its body to "sniff" the water moving by hoping for a scent of food!

Blogie Robillo I've observed this behavior among various dorid species, esp. Chromodoris and Hypselodoris. Nice shot, Penn!

Gary Cobb Correction: Halgerda sp. 2 is correct.

Gary Cobb We had a surgy couple of dives at Flinders Reef Moreton Island yesterday and found 26 species. Here is David Mullins, me and Jo posing at the surface interval in our new H1 Hybrid Waterproof drysuits, very warm aboard Mischief.

Gary Cobb Here the list of species we found: Berthellina citrina Chromodoris aspersa Chromodoris elisabethina Chromodoris lochi Cratena lineata Cratena simba Chromodoris burni Costasiella kuroshimae Doriprismatica atromarginata Elysia sp. 1 Goniobranchus collingwoodi Goniobranchus cf. verrieri Goniodoridella sp. 2 Hypselodoris whitei Plocamopherus imperialis Phyllidiopsis burni Phyllidiella pustulosa Phyllidiella lizae Risbecia godeffroyana Roboastra gracilis Thuridilla livida Thuridilla neona Thuridilla carlsoni Thuridilla gracilis Thuridilla splendens Trinchesia sp. 8

Patrik Good Congrats, good work. The variety of Thuridilla is exciting. With a few of the species I was not sure if they have just changed their names or if I just haven't come across them yet (eg. had to look Dori-S-prismatica atromarginata up).

Gary Cobb Sorry these suits are D1 species not H1!

Gary Cobb Patrik where did you find the spelling with an 's'? I had a re-look at the paper and it is spelled Doriprismatica, -> no 's'. Thanks! Yes we find quite a few Thuridilla at Flinders Reef.

Jim Anderson Your new suits are the business - I've been diving in one for 10 months, even down to 6 deg C. Not a problem your likely to have.

Gary Cobb Patrik the spelling of Doriprismatica is correct according to the paper.

Gary Cobb Hey Jim so you have a Di Hybrid?? Nice work. I love the suit!

Patrik Good Sorry Gary Cobb. Here the link I got it from: http://clade.ansp.org/obis/search.php/3587

Gary Cobb Patrik I think this site is old. It is saying Dorisprismatica is a synonym.

Gary Cobb I have written to Richard to get verification.

Ashley Missen Is there an email version coming out

Gary Cobb See thread above!

Gary Cobb 27 species actually!

Roy Arthur David Lontoh Chromodoris lochi....quite common in Gorontalo. This one was found @16m, length: 40mm. Dive site: West Point. Location: Gorontalo - Indonesia. I think it has a strange shape of its right rhinopore :)

Kimberly Spears Another nudibranch from Guam. I think it's a Chromodoris elisabethina. Agree or disagree?

Gary Cobb It looks like the gills and rhinophores are more yellow-orange (Chromodoris elisabethina) then pink (chromodoris lochi). We find this pale colour form of Chromodoris elisabethina here on the Sunshine Coast Australia quite a bit.

Gary Cobb ....Ohhh sorry AGREE!

Erwin Koehler Agree, Chr. lochi has no orange band at the mantle margin.

Josh Milligan Here in Okinawa we see Elisa's with red Rino's and Branchi. Other then that it is in the family yes.

Gary Cobb Yes this species can have reddish gills and rhinophores
