Chromodoris coi laying eggs

July 26, 2007
From: Kerem Turker


Dear Bill,
Here is a pretty lovely coloured chromodorid laying eggs. Although I am not sure, my guess will be Chromodoris fidelis. The geometry on the back is similar (with a dark dot on each side!!!) but the colour formation especially the deep yellow is not what I have found searching through the Forum.

Locality: Misool Island Raja Ampat, 15 meters, Indonesia, SW Pacific Ocean, 19 March 2007, Wall . Length: 40 mm. Photographer: Kerem Turker.

Regards,
Kerem

Dear Kerem,

Chromodoris fidelis has the 'tongues' of colour coming in from the edge of the mantle as in this species but ...... . Your animal is Chromodoris coi . Interestingly this species has extracapsular yolk in its egg ribbon just as in C. geometrica [see your recent message #20190 ].

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
