Goniodoris joubini in the Marshall Islands

May 1, 2002
From: Scott Johnson


Hi Bill,
Up until recently, I've assumed that there was only one species of Goniodoris in the Marshall Islands. It was only after a friend pointed out that there seemed to be some pretty consistent differences in my photos that I began to question that assumption. I'll send the photos of the ones I thnk are different in a separate message. Attached to this message are photos of what appear to be typical Goniodoris joubini. In another message is a photo showiing a pair of 'true' G. joubini with an egg mass on a colonial tunicate that may have been the nudibranchs' prey.
