Anderson, KJ, 2006 (Feb 9) Unknown chromodorid from Ningaloo Reef. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/15696Dear Kristin,
I suspect this is a chromodorid of some sort, but I think we would need to look at its anatomy to be sure what genus.There are many white species with orange markings but I don't remember this one. There seems to be a yellowish band at the mantle edge but I am not sure if that is just a trick of the light.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
