Tucker, Ken, 2007 (Feb 2) Hypselodoris maculosa from Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/19361Dear Ken,
As you will see f rom the C. decora colour gp Page; there are a number of chromdorids with similar colour patterns. certainly some forms of C. decora can have a median band bearing a row of purple spots, but it has no orange band on the rhinophores. The narrow body with a relatively narrow mantle skirt, and the inflated posterior end of the mantle, which houses large mantle glands, suggest that this is a photo of a species of Hypselodoris. In fact, if you have a look at Marina Poddubetskaia's message [#8338] you will fiind an identically coloured specimen of Hypselodoris maculosa from Mauritius
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
