Glossodoris pallida from Great Barrier Reef

From: Paul Osmond


Hi Bill,
Another nudibranch from the Great Barrier Reef off of Townsville [Queensland, Australia] - this one I believe is Ardeadoris egretta although the yellow tipped rhinophores may say something different.

Thanks,
Paul

Dear Paul,
There are a group of yellow bordered white species so you were right to hesitate when the rhinophore colours looked wrong. This is Glossodoris pallida, which as you will see from other photos on the page is characterised by the pattern of opaque white markings down the midline of the mantle.
Best wishes
