| Comments | This flatworm (upper image) displays a striking similarity to numerous
phyllidiid and chromodorid sea slugs of the Indo-Pacific. Their hallmark
is a translucent white or bluish-white background with dark blue or black
longitudinal lines. One example is Chromodoris
lochi Rudman, 1982 (lower image), Taxonomy: Family: Chromodorididae,
Order Nudibranchia).
