Reviewed by Codex identification research on Sep 5, 2026 · 94% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Translucent white body with numerous discrete orange-red spots
- Pale orange line on the outer foot margin
- Orange-red lines on the gill rachises
- Lighter orange rhinophore tips
Alternatives considered
- Gymnodoris striata
Why plausible: Similar white body and orange-red spots
Comparison: Continuous or broken orange mantle line with anterior V is not visible
- Gymnodoris rubropapulosa
Why plausible: Shared pale ground and orange-red papillae
Comparison: Expected larger, denser spots and smaller gills are not apparent
Evidence limits & sources +−
- • Internal anatomy and DNA are unavailable
- • Sharper frontal and ventral views would test the margin and rhinophore characters
