(Garrett, 1873)
» 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: It is interesting to see an individual (the larger one here), with open ‘leopard-like’ circles, a pattern like that of Chromodoris leopardus.
Comment from the photographer: I'm not sure if the species is Chromodoris leopardus or Risbecia tryoni. It looks like a mating behaviour.
