Chromodoris coi from Solomon Ids

June 13, 2003
From: Bruce Potter

Dear Bill,
I have just returned from a weekend diving in the Florida group of the Solomon Islands. On a dive at Anuha island, we came accross these two Chromodoris coi at about 6 meters. They were about 35mm long, on a coral wall.

I was interested that the one with the more intense colouration had no spots around the mantle, while the paler one did have spots.

Regards

Thanks Bruce,
It's nice to get these colour variations. Also of interest is the greyish blue colony the animals are on. I wondered whether it was a sponge or an encrusting soft coral. However in Scott Johnson's photo [p008-3] of an animal from the Caroline Ids, it seems to be on the same thing. I must check to see whether it is a sponge.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
