Chromodoris boucheti from the Maldives

Dear Bill,
There are not many records of Chromodoris boucheti from the Maldives. These two photos were taken at Veligandu, Rasdhoo Atoll, in July 1998.

The characteristic black line runs up from the base of each - half white, half yellow - gill.

Best wishes,
Fredy

Thanks Fredy,
A useful addition to our knowledge of the species. I suspect the greyish sponge it is crawling on may be its food but it is so overgrown with algae etc that I don't think it will be possible to identify it.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
