Koehler, E., 2005 (Jun 6) Hypselodoris regina from Mozambique?. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/13954Dear Erwin,
I'm afraid this isn't C. africana either. It is Hypselodoris regina, another of these black lined chromdorids. It has a much higher and narrower body than species of Chromodoris, and the gills are triangular in cross-section and edged in orange.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
