Hypselodoris zephyra off North Queensland

March 21, 2003
From: Mikkel Mowinckel

I took a picture of this little fella, who I think is a chromodorid, off Maureen's Cove on Hook Island, Whitsundays, North Queensland [east coast, Australia]. Approx 25mm long. He was trailing the mud, so I put him on a sponge for the picture's sake. I haven't been able to ID him quite yet and was hoping someone's give me a little hand.
Cheers,
Mikkel

Dear Mikkel,
This is indeed a chromodorid. It is Hypselodoris zephyra. I'm glad you mentioned you put it on the sponge. I'm always on the lookout for feeding information, so I'll cross this off as a potential food source. Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
