Hi Bill,
Here is another Chromodoris splendida to add to your collection.
This one has orange spots rather than the usual red ones.

Locality: Flat Rock North Stradbroke Island, 14 metres, Queensland Australia, Pacific ocean, 15 October 2006, rocky reef with sponges, hard & soft corals . Length: 25 mm. Photographer: Bruce Wilkie.

Many thanks,
Bruce Wilkie.

Thanks Bruce,

I can live with the orange tinge to the red spots, especially when the gills show the typical shape and colour of this species. The double red line on the outside edge of the gills and a single one on the inside edge are very characteristic of the species - however in smaller specimens this is not always clear.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
