Here is some information and photos on Chromodoris geminus from John Hicks' Christmas Island, Indian Ocean collections.

This well illustrates the interesting faunal assemblage at Christmas Island, as yesterday I posted a record of C. kuniei from here. C. kuniei and C. geminus are considered a pair of sibling species, the former restricted to the Western Pacific and the latter to the Indian Ocean.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
