Dear Dr Rudman,
This species was seen at the Galapagos Islands, July 1999. The bottom photo, of water, shows the underside of the animal
Hoping you may be able to ID this for me,
Thanks in advance,

This is our first slug on the Forum from the Galapagos Islands. It is Chromodoris sphoni which is found only in the central eastern Pacific. Another very similar looking species is Hypselodoris agassizii, which has also been found at the Galapagos Ids.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
