Description
Description. Easily recognised, not to be confused with any other species found in the western Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Large and fleshy with raised, medium-sized bright orange pustules, deep purple rings around rhinophores and gills joined by broken line in the Dahwat ad Daffi individual and the majority of photographs of individuals from the Persian Gulf (Plate 34). In the Gulf, the purple rings are not perfect as in the Red Sea, presenting with gaps, dots, dashes, and extra markings (Plate 35). Mantle margin is of the same purple pigment, foot without purple margin but does have few orange spots on its upper surface; rhinophores and gills purple.
Distribution
Distribution. Chromodoris annulata is known from the Red Sea (Yonow 2008) and the east African coastline to South Africa, and is recorded from the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, La Reunion, and Mayotte for the first time.
