Dear Bill
Here's a picture of a chromodorid from France. Is it Chromodoris britoi?
Locality: Cap caveau, Marseille, 25m, France, Mediterranean, 23 June 2007. Length: 2cm. Photographer: Sylvain Le Bris.
Thanks

Yes this is C. britoi. As you will see from earlier messages, there are similarities in color between this species and C. krohni. One simple difference, which seems to hold true in all the photos on the Forum, is that in C. britoi, the rhinophores have a white line down the posterior side of the rhinophores, while in C. krohni the rhinophore clubs are uniformly deep blue or purple with a white tip.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
