Although you may at first think this is the Chromodoris lochi (which was posted a few days ago), this is a completely different species! Named the Chromodoris willani, after famous nudibranch taxonomist Dr. Richard C. Willan, is defined by the pronounced white specks on its gills and rhinophores. Its home is the West-Pacific Ocean, and it feeds on sponges.
