Wakeling, M., 2002 (Oct 7) Another Chromodoris lochi from North Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8099Dear Marli,
At this stage I am considering the three gill colours you have found, translucent, yellow-orange, and the pink in this message to be the same species. I have looked at a lot of radulae but can't find any differences. I realise that similar radular morphology doesn't automatically mean same species, but I can't find any other anatomical differences which can be tied to gill colour, so the simplest course is to leave them together. If anyone wants to start looking for different egg ribbons and different food choices, then that would be very useful.
Best wishes.
Bill Rudman
