Hello Bill,
I wonder if you or any expert from this side of the world can help me with the ID of this Hypselodoris.
Locality: Praia do Burgau, Lagos, 8 metres, Portugal, Atlantic Ocean, 30 April 2006, wreck in sandy bottom. Photographer: David Abecasis.
Many thanks,
David Abecasis

Dear David,
Hopefully I am gradually learning how to recognise these blue chromodorids. I am pretty sure this is Hypselodoris villafranca. The white lines on the gills and rhinophores are characteristic of that species. There should also be a yellow ring around the gill pocket we can't see if it is present in this photo because the gills are in the way.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
