Hypselodoris krakatoa from Indonesia

April 2, 2007
From: Jim Anderson

Hello again Bill,
Following a recent trip to Raja Ampat, Indonesia I am sending on some images that I trust will be of interest.

I need your help to ID this animal. I think it might be Hypselodoris maculosa but maybe it's H. krakatoa. It and another couple of the same were not hanging about in the current but heading somewhere.

Locality: Kabui Strait, 8 m, Raja Ampat, Indonesia, Dampier Strait, 5 March 07, current swept channel. Length: 25. Photographer: Jim Anderson.

Dear Jim,

The high volcano-like gill pocket, as well as the colour pattern, are a good indication that this is your second choice -  Hypselodoris krakatoa. The rakish angle of the gills well illustrates the srong current you mention.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
