Special Chromodoris annulata

From: Danny Van Belle


Hi Bill,
Here is Chromodoris annulata with a missing rhinophore -but it's possible it never had two?!

Divesite: Boonsung Wreck, off the west coast of Thailand near Tap Lamu, Andaman Sea
Date: 3 March 2001
Depth: 13m

By the way I've got some footage of Chromodoris annulata (albino?) missing the orange spots on it's body! Pictures very soon!

Cheers
Danny Van Belle

Dear Danny,
What with your earlier photos and your promised 'spotless' ones, we are getting a good picture of colour variation of this species at the eastern edge of its range. In this animal, both the anterior and posterior purple rings are irregular. Concerning the left rhinophore - as you say, it is possible it has never had one.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
