Dear Bill,
Short time ago I sent you photos taken by Patrice in Senegal which you identified as Chromodoris krohni. During my recent stay in Dakar I found 2 similar animals. Here are the photos of one of them. Lucas Cervera has confirmed it is Chromodoris krohni. So, you were right.

Location: Dakar, Senegal, Eastern Atlantic
Site: Tacoma Wreck
Depth: 13m
Size: 20mm

Marina.

Thanks Marina,
It's good to get confirmation from Lucas. Its interesting to see how colour patterns can gradually change in species with a large geographic distribution. In this case the 3 longitudinal lines are replaced, or partially replaced by spots. Your visit to Senegal has proved very valuable
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
