Discodoris schmeltziana

Bergh, 1880

Kati Burg Hello, Does anyone know this species? We found it at a muck dive site in Romblon, Philippines.

Ashley Missen Looks like a Hoplodoris of some sort

Kati Burg Yes, that could be! Thanks Ashley!

Gary Cobb Nice try Ash! This is Discodoris schmeltziana Bergh, 1880 and I have found it here on the Sunshine Coast at Old Woman Island.
