Chelidonura sp. e528

Chelidonura sp. e528 was found on 15 June 2008 on in an eastern lagoon Halimeda patch. The anterior end of the body is bordered with a white "M" shape, similar to that of Chelidonura fulvipunctata and Chelidonura sp. e512, but the rest of the animal's color is quite different. However, it does resemble a pale form of C. fulvipunctata figured on the Hawaii Sea Slug site. C. fulvipunctata could be an extremely variable species, but for now we are keeping this one separate.
