Dear Bill,

I believe this to be a Hypselodoris, but not sure which one. About 10mm long at 10 metres depth, North Obhur, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Dear Gordon,
I am pretty sure this is a colour form of Chromodoris decora but I would need some specimens and some intermediate colour forms to be sure. The translucent gills and rhinophores and the broad translucent orange mantle border are characteristic of Chromodoris decora and some colour forms have scattered purple spots and irregular white lines. Because I am not totally sure of its identity I am calling it Chromodoris cf. decora.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
