chromodoris nudibranch Chromodoris lineolata Family Chromodorididae updated Oct 08 Where seen? This pretty nudibranch in a pin-striped suit is commonly encountered on our Southern shores among living reefs and on coral rubble. Sometimes, it can be seen in large numbers. Features: 2-3cm long. Long body with broad tail, black with fine white lines. The body and the foot are edged in a broad yellow or orange border with a black line along the inner edge of the orange border. The tips of the flower-like gills and the rhinophores are maroon to pink. The similar Chromodoris striatella has a white body with fine black lines and a white line along the inner edge of the orange border. Sometimes mistaken for armina nudibranchs. The Lined chromodoris nudibranch has a feathery gill on its back while armina nudibranchs don't. |
