Скачать или смотреть Hypselodoris capensis - the clowny goofy dorids

Hypselodoris capensis is a really colorful and pretty dorid that was really exciting to see. They remind me a bit of a clown with their colors. 


H. capensis has a white-pink body with white longutudinal lines and red irregular spots on their mantle and a blue-purple margin. Both the rhinophores and the tips of the eight gill plumes. The rhinophores are perfoliate and they can reach 80mm.


The end of the foot also has the blue pattern They feed on an undescribed blue sponge species. 


H. capensis can be confused with Ceratosoma ingozi, but C. ingozi's red markings are less defined and more like inkspots that have bled out,hence their common name, the ink spot dorid.
