Chromodoris grahami? from Colombia

June 2, 2001
From: Elianny Domínguez


Dear Bill,
We found this two nudibranchs on a rocky shore, in Gaira Bay, Santa Marta, Caribbean coast of Colombia, intertidally. The pink one was 1.5 cm of length and the white one was 2 cm.

On the edge of the body there is a bright yellow line. The white one has little pink-red dots on the dorsal. And they both have purple rhinophores.

Someone told me they might be Chromodoris neona. Can you help me out?
Cheers,
Elianny.

Dear Elianny,
Your photos aren't very clear and my knowledge of the Caribbean fauna is based entirely on publications so I may be wrong, but I think these photos are of Chromodoris grahami a species originally described from Jamaica (Thompson, 1980).
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
