Hypselodoris infucata
» If you find this species has been misidentified, please let us know
Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: Clearly the presence of dark purple on the rhinophoral stalks isn’t a consistent character for only Hypselodoris kanga because some of these animals in this batch of Hypselodoris infucata have them too (photos #2380, #131, #1718, #0238). So the shape of the gills and spots on the gills are the best characters to tell them apart.
Congratulation to Monica to have this photo chosen for Neville Coleman's Nudibranchs Encyclopedia book cover. Please note that the correct location is Bali instead of Seychelles
