An undescribed species. This species has some similarities to both Hypselodoris nigrostriata (i.e., diagonal black streaks on the mantle and foot) and Hypselodoris kanga (triangular gills with yellow spot on the front axis), but it is clearly distinct from either of them. It appears to be endemic to the Indian ocean, from the Arabian Sea to the Andaman Sea.

A juvenile individual that is too immature to identify to species.

An unidentified species. A photo of this same species is already on Nudi Pixel at http://www.nudipixel.net/photo/00000060/

An undescribed species closest to Hypselodoris emmae – see Debelius and Kuiter 2007, page 118. This is a very small juvenile individual.

Not sure if it is the same as the blue one we had before. Interesting that it seems to have a purple line along the very margin.

There is a nice clutch of these blue chromodorids. Certainly consistent in colour with only small variations in colour pattern.

As far as I can tell this doesn’t have a name, although I have seen photos from the West Pacific – it seems its rhinophores and gills can also be more red. It is not Hypselodoris bullockii but since no one has described or illustrated the radula of Hypselodoris bullockii, it is also a bit of an unknown quantity.

An undescribed species, but it is being described presently by myself and a group of researchers from Taiwan.
