Hi Bill,
To accompany my message on Goniodoris joubini, here are photos of three animals I have until recently considered color forms of that species. Now I'm not so sure. What do you think? Have you run into this form before? Like more typical G. joubini, individuals with this color form range in size from about 6 to 15mm.

Dear Scott,
No I don't recall seeing this colour pattern before. I guess it could be a colour form of G. joubini, but probably best to leave it separate at this stage.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
