Neodoris chrysoderma from Jervis Bay, NSW

April 20, 2001
From: Des Paroz

Hi Bill
Here's a photo of Neodoris chrysoderma, taken at The Docks, Jervis Bay on 1 April 2001. Depth was around 18m, and the temp was 21C.

Looking at the other message from Erik Schloegl about this species, I think I may have a photo of N. chrysoderma feeding. I'll check through my photos and let you know if I do.

It's noted as relatively common in New South Wales waters, yet to memory, I have not seen it in Sydney or Illawara. Yet it was abundant at Jervis Bay, at at least 3 different sites (Bowen Wall, The Nursery and The Docks).

Best regards
Des

Dear Des,
Thanks for the photo, and yes a photo of it feeding would be of interest. I have records of it from as far north in New South Wales as Coffs Harbour (see photo at top of page) and it certainly has been found in the Sydney region. I guess they are like many nudibranchs - never there when you go looking for them.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
