Chromodoris boucheti with a yellow trim on Pemba

Hello Bill,

While diving from Pemba I saw this nudi. It looks to me like Chromodoris boucheti but with an unfamiliar yellow trim.

Locality: Pemba, 20 metres, Tanzania, Indian Ocean, 03 March 2006. Photographer: Rob Veelenturf.

Dear Rob,

I haven't seen one with the yellow around the mantle ledge like this, but I am sure it is C. boucheti. The black lines on the gills seem to be a good character. I am very interested in the dark grey sponge in your photo which I suspect may be this species' food. Have you any more photos of this species from Pemba showing it on sponges? For that matter have you any photos showing the C. quadricolor and C. hamiltoni in your other message [#16372] being even slightly interested in any sponges?

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
