Chromodoris geminus from the Maldives

November 27, 2001
From: Peter Steggle

Hi,
I found this Nudibranch on a wall dive in Ari Atoll, Maldives, during October 2001, at a depth of about 20m. The wall was completely covered in a mixture of Hydroids, Sponges and Corals (both soft and hard). I have tried to identify it from several books and your site but without any success.

Dear Peter,
This is Chromodoris geminus which appears to be the Indian Ocean member of a group of similarly coloured species, including the western Pacific species C. kuniei and species C. tritos, also from the Indian Ocean.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
