I took these images of Mexichromis porterae at East End Reserve of Anacapa Island, California, USA on July 16, 2005. The depth was about 12 meters. The specimen was about 1.5 cm in length.

Dear Chris,
Thanks for another photo of this species. It is nice for you to be able to compare it with the very similarly coloured Chromodoris macfarlandi at the same time [see message #14430 ]. If you ever catch it on its food sponge or laying eggs, photos would be very welcome
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
