Chromodoris coi

Scientific name : Chromodoris coi


A beautiful species, with 2 light brown-pink areas, the darker in the center, the lighter at the edge, nicely separated by an undulating black and white line. 6 cm. In our area it is difficult to confound. The undulating line and the missing spots distinguish it from Chromodoris kuniei and Chromodoris leopardus. A typical behaviour, also observed in other Chromodoris species, is to lift and lower rhythmically the mantle when disturbed, probably to highlight the warning colour
