Info

Chromodoris lochi Rudman, 1982

Chromodoris lochi is one of a group of translucent white or bluish-white chromdorids with dark blue or black longitudinal lines. Similar to Chromodoris willani, and Chromodoris dianae.

Of these whitish species with three black lines, the most characteristic feature of Chromodoris lochi is the plain coloured gills and rhinophores which range in colour from a translucent straw colour to dull orange or pink.

Feed exclusively on sponges.

It should be noted that in 2019 Chromodoris boucheti was synonymized with Chromodoris lochi after DNA tests were done.
