Chromodoris magnifica ? and egg ribbon
February 13, 2008
From: Mirjam Broos
Bill,
It must be boring, but here is another blue Chromodoris [see messages #21278; #21279]. Is this C. sp 24? I noticed the small yellow dots, but don't know if that is important to recognize the specy?
Locality: Menjangan island, Pos 1, Bali, Indonesia, Indian ocean, 7 april 2007. Photographer: Geert Prast.
Looking forward to your answer.
Thanks again.

Broos, M., 2008 (Feb 13) Chromodoris magnifica ? and egg ribbon. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/21280Dear Mirjam,
I dont know what you mean by C. sp 24? as I don't list that many unknown chomodorids? If it's someone else's list you'll neeed to identify which list in future because there is no standard list of unidentified species.
This is probably the same animal as in Franca Wermuth's message [#20173] which I think may be C. magnifica, but not everyone agrees [see message #20490]. The yellowish spots you mention are the same as the orange-brown markings I mentioned in your last message [#21279] which for some reason are 'black' markings without the black pigmentation.
One thing you apparently haven't noticed is the flat egg ribbon the animal is on and which I suspect it may have deposited. All the black-lined species we know of lay this flattened egg ribbon so it's nice to get another example. The sponge it is on is possibly Petrosaspongia [see message #19222] but I can't see enough detail to be sure.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
