Chromodoris burni found at Flinders Reef

From: Gary Cobb

Hi Bill!
I found this animal on Flinders Reef, north of Moreton Island, Queensland, Australia, 16m depth 20mm long. I think it is Chromodoris burni according to Coleman's book.
Thanks,
Gary.

Thanks Gary,
This is certainly Chromodoris burni, which is quite a nice find as we have very few records of this species other than the few from the Great Barrier Reef I recorded in the original description. It ceratinly has similarities to Chromodoris striatella but the orange edged white gills with a black line up the inner edge, is very characteristic of this species and quite different from C. striatella. It would be great to know what its egg ribbon looked like
Best wishes
