Mexichromis from Sth Korea

Dear Bill,
I have seen it only one at Sep. 2001., 25m depth in Moon islet, Jeju island. Photo: By Dong Bum, Koh
But I couldn't find it in any books & suspected it as a Chromodoris luteorosea. How about your opinions?
Best regards,

Koh, D.B., 2003 (Mar 26) Mexichromis from Sth Korea. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/9098Dear Dong Bum,
C. luteorosea is a Mediterranean species so it is unlikely to be found in Korea. I am pretty sure your animal is a Mexichromis. As you will have seen on the Forum it is not possible at present to be sure how many species of this genus there are in the Indo-West Pacific. It would seem that quite a lot are colour forms of a single variable species. I am putting yours on the Mexichromis mariei where you will see a wide degree of variation in colour and papillae development.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
