Chromodoris kuiteri

Rudman, 1982


Sascha Hofmann And one more. Very common around cook island. Just can't get my head around which one it is. Cromodoria cf Africana, Chromodoris Kuiteri or a different one.

Gary Cobb This one is Chromodoris kuiteri. C. cf. africana has 2 blue longitudinal lines with pits.
