Chromodoris galactos from Enewetak Atoll

Hi Bill,

Here are some images of Chromodoris galactos from Enewetak Atoll. These three specimens were in the 15 to 25mm range. So far, I've found this species only at Enewetak, although it is obviously closely related to Marshall Islands' C. rubrocornuta (in particular, the single specimen from Rongelap Atoll, e181r).

Thanks Scott,
As I have suggested in reply to your earlier message I suspect e181r is C. galactos rather than C. rubrocornuta.
Best wishes,
