Chromodoris striatella

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!

Patrik Good Southport Seaway Nightdive, 9/1/2012, about 3 metres, size 20mm.

Patrik Good How shall I call it for the moment and the stats, Hypselodoris sp.?

Ashley Missen Yes unless Gary Can give you an Id - cheers and Thanks Ash

Ashley Missen My Guess is Chromodoris striatella Bergh 1876 --- http://www.dragonmouse.com.au/diving/nudibase.php?action=nudidetail&id=298 -Cheers Ash

Patrik Good Thank you, Ash. That is probably it. How is it colour coded in the database. Sorry, is it possible that the nudi is not colour coded? Couldn't find it with blue, purple, beige, grey.

Patrik Good Thanks Ash. Great: 1 down of 3. Is it possible that the nudi is not colour coded in your database? I didn't find it with blue, purple, grey, or beige.

Patrik Good Thank you.

Ashley Missen Thanks Gary Cobb - can you explain the differences between the 2 so I know for future reference and why you chose that one. Cheers and thanks Ash

Gary Cobb NEWS BREAK! Ash I take my ID back after looking at it again, I agree this is Chromodoris striatella! In C. burni the inside of the gills are black. In C. stiatella there are hints of orange on the tips of the rhinophores, whereas C. burni has the whole outside of the gills orange.The above photo shows very faintly the circular white pattern in the centre of the mantle.

Ashley Missen I got one Right - yeah me

Gary Cobb YIPPEE!!!!

Gary Cobb ...as Ashley's head starts to swell the floor boards in the house across the street are making a strange creaking noise...

Deb Aston Id confirmation - is this Chromodoris burni

Jeff Rosenfeld Seems more likely Chromodoris striatella based on the white-speckled gills and rhinophores.

Mike Bartick Good call jeff-striatella...

Deb Aston Thanks Jeff & Mike, this is a new one for me.
