Chromodoris lochi from Solomon Islands
June 27, 2001
From: Jeff Rosenfeld
Hi Bill,
Here's an individual I found in the Florida Islands, Solomon Islands in August, 1998 that seems to be Chromodoris lochi.
However, I haven't found any mention of this yellowish color form in the various sources I've investigated. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

The background colour on some of these animals depends on their size and sometimes on where they are photographed. This creamy colour is not unusual. Sometimes the black lines can have quite a bluish tinge. I must say the sponge it is on looks tempting, but proximity, in itself, is not evidence that it is a food item.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
