Discodoris schmeltziana from Hawaii

From: Scott Johnson


Hi Bill,

Mary Jane Adams' photo [#13257] of Discodoris schmeltziana brought to mind this animal observed occasionally in the Hawaiian Islands. Alas, I did not take a photo of its underside, and my color notes of that portion of the body say only "Foot bright lemon yellow." The locality details refer to the animal h155-1. The animal shown in h155-2 was photographed by Stan Jazwinski, I believe off the island of Maui, Hawaii.

Locality: [for h155-1] Halona Point Blowhole, Oahu Island, Hawaii, USA. Depth: 15 m. Length: 40 x 20 mm. 23 February 1980.Sparse coral reef on lava. Photographer: Scott Johnson [for h155-1] / Stan Jazwinski [for h155-2 ]

Thanks Scott,
It's good to get an idea of some of the colour variability to be found in the species.
