Dear Bill,
I found this Chromodoris on the same site as my many other messages in Kavieng Harbour, Papua New Guinea. It has similarities to other species, but the 'Y' shape on the dorsal area seems unusual. Can you help me identify it, please?
Location: The Old Slipway, Kavieng, Papua New Guinea
Depth: 5 metres
Length: 7mm

This is Chromodoris decora. The Y pattern is a characteristic of the species, although it is not so obvious in some variants
Best wishes,
