Chromodorid from Indonesia

December 21, 2006
From: Ann Clear

Hi Bill,
We have just returned from diving in the wonderful Lembeh Straits. I spotted this little fellow, but it was tucked away in a rocky outcrop, which was difficult to get to, therefore the photo is not the best. Can you help please, we thought it may be a juvenille Mexichromis macropus?

Locality: Lembeh Strait, 15 m, Indonesia, Molucca Sea, 15 October 2006, Rocky outcrop on reef. Length: 1 cm. Photographer: Ann Clear.

Thank you
Regards
Ann Clear

Dear Ann,

I'm afraid this is another mystery. It certainly looks like a chromodorid but I would think it was probably a Hypselodoris rather than a Mexichromis.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
