Hypselodoris krakatoa? from Taiwan

June 24, 2002
From: Todd Garthwaite

Hi Bill,
Here are three shots of what I believe to be Hypselodoris emma, however, I'm not a hundred percent sure. I would certainly appreciate it if you could help me identify this nudibranch. I came across this specimen in a very shallow, rocky area with sponges, and hard coral.

Site: "Jin-Sha Wan" (["Golden Sand Bay"], N.E. Coast, Taipei County, Taiwan)
Date: 08 June 2002
Time: 09:33am
Depth: 2.3 meters
Temp: 25 degrees C.
Size: Approx. 25 mm

Stay golden.
Best wishes always, (and many thanks),
Todd Garthwaite

Dear Todd,
I would hazard a guess that this is a colour form of Hypselodoris krakatoa. It doesn't seem to have such 'volcanic' gills as earlier photos on the Forum, but the white spots along the outer longitudinal lines seem to suggest a link. But let's wait for some comments from others who may have other ideas.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
