These cheery little blue nudibranchs are examples of the species Chromodoris willani which are named after the renowned nudibranch taxonomist Dr. Richard C. Willan. I wonder what his business cards look like…

Individuals in this species can range in color from dark blue to a translucent white. All have black stripes with the center-most stripe typically being non-continuous. They are, on average, 14mm in length (suuuups tiny)!
