» 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: An adult individual in the process of eating a Chromodoris westraliensis whole.
Since this photo was taken in Western Australia, it would be Chromodoris westraliensis for sure (this species is nearly indistinguishable from Chromodoris annae which occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific).
Point: Exmouth
Comment from the photographer: 7m, tidal area, silty bottom with coral/limestone structures.
