Chromodoris roboi from the Great Barrier Reef
April 12, 2001
From: Erik Schloegl
Dear Bill,
I looked through the species list of chromodorids, but couldn't find any that looked like this critter. Did I overlook it?
The photo was taken on 16 December 2000 at an unnamed bommie (well, we called it "40 meter bommie" after the depth of the sand bottom surrounding it) between the Ribbon Reefs, north of Port Douglas, Queensland. The depth was 10m.
Best wishes,
Erik

Schloegl, E., 2001 (Apr 12) Chromodoris roboi from the Great Barrier Reef. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4151Dear Erik,
I am afraid it is difficult to find what species are already on the Forum, other than by name. There are certainly ways to improve this but they would all require a rather massive input in time. Perhaps I'll win the lottery some day and be able to employ an assistant! In the meantime, your animal is Chromodoris roboi. Your photo is a useful addition as it shows the common tropical north-eastern Australian colour form.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
