Chromodoris strigata? from the Red Sea

April 26, 2002
From: Marina Poddubetskaia

Dear Bill,
Here is another photo of a nudibranch I saw at the end of March, when I spent a week in Egypt. It was a dive cruise at the North of Red Sea, between Hurghada and Sinai mountains.

Is this Chromodoris quadricolor?

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
There is a complex of black lined species and I still think we have a way to go to before they are completely separated. I think this is Chromdoris strigata. In all animals I have seen there is a consistent pattern of 5 large translucent grayish patches on the dorsum, 2 behind the rhinophores, 2 in front of the gills, and one in the centre. I can't recall it being recorded from the Red Sea as yet, but it is known from Madagascar at the southern end of the western Indian Ocean.
Best wishes.
Bill Rudman
