Dear Bill,

Found lots of these on Colombia reef in about 60 FSW. Can you tell me what it is?

Locality: Colombia reef, Cozumel, 60 ft, Mexico, Carribean, 13 October, 2006

Dear Chuck,
This is the very colourful chromodorid nudibranch  Mexichromis kempfi. Have a look at the Fact Sheet and earlier messages for more information about it. Until Jim Lyle's recent message [#17544 ], this species wasn't known from this part of the Caribbean.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
