Chromodoris lineolata

(van Hasselt, 1824)


Teoh Yew Aun Chromodoris Lineolata Found in Semporna, Sabah Mangrove Sept 2013 - 5metres

Gary Cobb When species names are written only the genus (first part of the name) is capped.

Teoh Yew Aun I never knew that..... thanks Gary....

Gary Cobb You joined this exclusive Group to learn and share!

Chad Tamis I apologize for the condensation/fog. 1m, in the mangroves. Any guesses?

Lindz Warren Either Chromodoris striatella Bergh, 1876 (see http://seaslugforum.net/find/chrstria) or Chromodoris lineolata (van Hasselt, 1824) (see http://www.seaslugforum.net/chroline.htm) but very hard to tell from the photo. You might be able to get more detail from the photo by 'treating' it in Nikon Viewer, Photoshop or other photo manipulation application. :-)

Chad Tamis After seeing the pictures and description, absolutely C. lineolata. Cheers.

Lindz Warren Well done - that is the first documented sighting of C. lineolata in the Tukang Besi!

Kat Berry Nice one, Chad!

Jon Chamberlain Blood hell Chad! Good work, and another to add to the list. It seems reports of blue/black/orange/white blobs were more than just squirts, sponges and old shoes. Big up the DMs!

Frans Ricc During a very interesting dive in a mangrove forest in Bangka Island (North Sulawesi, Indonesia), I've spot this nudi together with many other species of slugs and hundred of flatworms. I can't find the ID, any help? About 5 cm long.

Janine Baker Looks like genus Armina, but I couldn't say which species.

Gary Cobb This is Chromodoris lineolata

Gary Cobb Janine if this were an Armina species there wouldn't be gills on the dorsum.

Albert Hartono Awesome!

Janine Baker Thanks Gary - I will remember that from now on, about no gills on Armina. You can tell I am not a taxonomist :)

Jon Chamberlain I'd be interested in seeing some more pics from the mangroves, and also what sort of conditions were they (pristine/impacted, tidal flow, water temp, depth etc). I've found some interesting species in the mangroves but the impacted sites I visited recently had none.

Gary Cobb Not a worry Janine we all learn! That's why we are here.

Frans Ricc Thanks all for the comments and Gary for the ID. Jon I will try to upload some more pics...
