Ardeadoris pullata

(Rudman, 1995)


Erwin Koehler a species of Glossodoris, Gordon Tillen took this picture also in Anilao, ID help needed!

Franca Wermuth-Vezzoli I think so, too. I saw several of these in Romblon last month.

Erwin Koehler thanks, I will post it as G. cf. hikuerensis because the band at the mantle margin differs

Franca Wermuth-Vezzoli yeah, you're right, but otherwise it looks the same. Nice variation though...

Gary Cobb We are calling Ardeadoris pullata http://www.nudibranch.com.au/pages/9143.htm

Shane Siers Curious that this was reclassified as Ardeadoris when G. cincta and G. hikuerensis were not. Looks can be deceiving!

Erwin Koehler NUDIPIXEL has it from Anilao: http://www.nudipixel.net/photo/00026570/
