Chromodoris kuniei from Fiji

June 21, 2003
From: Leanne & David Atkinson


Dear Bill,
Here is another photo of Chromodoris kuniei, this time without the satellite dish. You didn't have any from Fiji on the Forum, so we thought we'd send this one to extend the range. It was moving very rapidly when we saw it, waving its mantle. David videoed it while I took stills.

We have visited the same area 3 times over 3 consecutive years and this is the only Chromodoris kuniei that we have seen. We couldn't say they were common in the area.

The photo details are:
Location: Plantation Pinnacle, near Malolo Lai Lai Island, Fiji.
Date: 23.04.02 Time:10:00am
Depth: 20m Water Temp: 30 degrees c.

Regards,
Leanne & David Atkinson
