Description
Chromodoris kuiteri has the same basic pattern as many other Chromodoris species, a white background on the mantle with three longitudinal black stripes. However in this species the black stripes are so wide that they reduce the white to thin lines. Even the narrow space between the outer white line and the broad orange margin is filled with black. The rhinophores and gills are bright orange.Gosliner, T.M., Behrens, D.W. & Valdés, Á., 2018. Nudibranch and Sea Slug Identification - Indo-Pacific.
