Rowe, C., 2006 (Jul 22) Chromodoris magnifica from Sipadan, Malaysia. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/16851Dear Charles,
This is Chromodoris magnifica, a quite common, and brilliantly coloured species from the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago. I would dearly love to know what this species feeds on. The evidence at present is somewhat ambiguous. Ironically, both the grey and red sponges in the background of your photo could be its food.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
