Comment from Neville Coleman on photo #472
This species is now known to be fairly widespread and comes in an amazing array of patterns and variations. This one (although very small) appears to be a colour form of Western Australia one that I photographed at Exmouth Gulf Western Australia in August 1972. (see page 72/14,15 1001 NUDIBRANCHS). However, as more knowledge and images appear it may be that some of the forms may require further investigation as separate species.Common name: ROBO’S CHROMODORIS
Comment from Richard Willan on photo #55
Individuals with gold bars across the mantle like this one (instead of separated gold spots, as are present in typical Chromodoris roboi) occur in Western Australian and Bali.Locality:
