Natasja Vandeperre, 2007 (Sep 4) Another Glossodoris pallida from Tofo, Mozambique. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20581Dear Natasja,
Unfortunately not all white chromdorids with a yellow border are Glossodoris pallida. That is why I was hesitant to identify one of your earlier animals as G. pallida [see #20494]. Often the only sure way to separate them is to dissect them and look at their anatomy - not much use if you only have a photo or are undertaking an ecological study which requires the animals to be left alive. I will tentatively leave this animal with G. pallida but it could well be something else.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
