Chromodoris magnifica from Malaysia

August 1, 2003
From: Carlene Cheong

Hi,
Im an avid diver, a baby one infact where I've only started diving last August but hooked on it ever since. Through my dive trips (usually in Malaysia and in Maldives in Jan), I've found myself intrigued by the lil slugs that dot the 'over-dived' reef (especially in Malaysia).

I'm looking forward to more discoveries with you all!

Dear Carlene,
This is a colour form of the chromodorid nudibranch called Chromodoris magnifica. I assume its from Malaysia. Although I like to be able to identify animals for divers on the Forum, one of the 'payments' for this service is some information on where and when the photos were taken. In this way the Forum is building up a valuable collection of observations on where these animals live, what they eat, what their eggs look like, how they vary in colour etc. Much of this information is new, so if you would like to help 'science' while getting names for your interesting 'finds' then I would be glad if you could include some information with your photos.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
