Phyllidia cf. polkadotsa
Brunckhorst, 1993
» 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: Although this individual has no large spots on its mantle, it is possibly an extreme colour form of Phyllidia polkadotsa with stripes instead of spots. In ‘Nudibranchs Encyclopedia’ (page 328) Neville Coleman has given a photo of an individual with spots and stripes, so this is halfway to an all-striped colour form.
Comment from the photographer: Possible just a colour variation. North Male Atoll, april 2007.
