Conclusion: Gymnodoris sp.
Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 94% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Elongate mantle-less dorid body
- Posterior exposed gill plume rather than aeolid cerata
- White body densely scattered with small orange-yellow spots
- Long pale rhinophores and pale gills with yellow-orange distal pigment
Alternatives considered
- Gymnodoris citrina group
Why plausible: White-and-orange Gymnodoris species recur and can be externally similar
Comparison: Gill arrangement, oral morphology, size, radula and DNA are required for species-level separation
- Other Gymnodoris species
Why plausible: The genus contains repeated white-and-orange colour patterns
Comparison: A dorsal head view and specimen characters are needed
Evidence limits & sources +−
- • Exact gill insertion and rhinophore detail are soft
- • No radular, reproductive or molecular evidence
