Another Nudi ID

chromodoris bulockii ?

waisj · 1st January 2004

This species is actually the Hypselodoris bullokii,it could be ID'ed by the dual coloured Rhinopores(normally Bright Orange) and it's "stem-like" base of the gills.

The species comes with several colour variations. None the less, it has been proposed recently that the coloured forms could be a few valid species which require further gene analysis studies.

Hope that hepled.

good shot. tought i saw Helmut Debelius's shot.

is it a bit underexposed? or is it my monitor calibration

MOre .. More....

p/s i'am searching books for the species of the nudibranch you posted earlier as well. photograped the same species, but didn't really ID it.
