Chromodoris roboi from Western Australia
April 19, 2003

Hi Bill
I was wondering if you could help me. I have taken this photo of a nudibranch on the wreck of HMAS Swan in Dunsborough, south west corner of Western Australia.
I have searched all over the internet to try and find out what it is called and haven’t been able to find it. I was wondering if you would know what it is or where else I might find the information. It would, of course, be fantastic to find a new nudibranch on our Wreck but I imagine this one has been found before. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated
Many Thanks

This is what I think is a western Australian form of Chromodoris roboi. If you look at the other messages on this page you will see there is a bit of colour variation in the species, and in Western Australia all the photos I have seen are of this streaked, rather than spotted colour form. C. roboi has only recently been named so we still have a ot to learn about it. What it eats, what its eggs look like, its geographic range, it colour variability etc., etc., so any observations are very welcome.
Best wishes.
Bill Rudman
