Hi all
Great website very useful. I've come across these beasts many times in Bahrain (Persian Gulf) typically amongst dead coral structrues.

Locality: Bahrain, Persian Gulf. dead coral reef. Depth: 2 m - 5 m. Length: 40 mm. October 2005. Shallow. Photographer: Mike Arora

I would be grateful if somebody could identify this one

Dear Mike,
This is Chromodoris obsoleta. As you will see from the other messages, we know very little about this species, and apart from a couple of reports in the literature, all we know about it is on the Forum. So if you have photos of it on sponges - perhaps feeding?, or laying eggs, they would be very welcome.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
