(Quoy & Gaimard, 1832)
» 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: The name Platydoris striata has recently been formally synonymised under Platydoris cruenta even though the population in the Red Sea never has any red blotches dorsally or ventrally on the mantle. The relationship should be re-investigated using DNA.
