Concerning message #20942:

Hello Bill,

On the subject of the Caribbean group of species with orange or pink markings on the mantle and a yellow border, I noticed that on the fact sheet for Chromodoris grahami, you asked for photos. I am sending you two photos (same animal) which appear to be a juvenile specimen of C. grahami. Hope this helps.

Locality: St Ann's Bay, 20 feet, Jamaica, West Indies, Caribbean Sea, May 28, 2006. Length: 4-5 mm. Photographer: Anne DuPont.

Thanks again for the wonderful forum.
Cordially,
Anne DuPont

Dear Anne,

Thanks very much for these photos. They fit Tom Thompson's original description of the species almost exactly which is somewhat of a surprise since Caribbean species suually cause some headaches when we try and identify them. Even though your animal is quite small, it seems to have its adult form and colour. This will give me a chance to prepare a proper Fact Sheet for the species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
