Dear Natasja,
Unfortunately not all white chromdorids with a yellow border are Glossodoris pallida. That is why I was hesitant to identify one of your earlier animals as G. pallida [see #20494]. Often the only sure way to separate them is to dissect them and look at their anatomy - not much use if you only have a photo or are undertaking an ecological study which requires the animals to be left alive. I will tentatively leave this animal with G. pallida but it could well be something else.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
