Length: 30mm
Frequency on Hachijo: uncommon
Best Regards,

Nishina, M., 2001 (Oct 1) Discodoris lilacina from Japan. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/5044Dear Nishina,
It seems that smaller specimens of Discadoris lilacina are quite translucent in colour. You can see the darker patch of the viscera about a third the way down the body. At this size they seem quite capable of changing colour from almost translucent white to quite dark brown.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
