Reviewed by Codex identification research on Sep 5, 2026 · 93% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Translucent white body with discrete orange-red spots
- Orange marginal foot line
- Orange-red gill rachis lines
- Lighter orange rhinophore tips
Alternatives considered
- Gymnodoris striata
Why plausible: Similar orange-red spots on a pale body
Comparison: Mantle-surrounding orange line and anterior V are not visible
- Gymnodoris rubropapulosa
Why plausible: Shared white ground and orange-red papillae
Comparison: Larger, denser spots and smaller gills are not apparent
Evidence limits & sources +−
- • Internal anatomy and DNA are unavailable
- • Soft focus prevents a definitive count of all gill lines
