One of my favorite divesites is "Gato Cave" at Gato Island, pretty close to Malapascua Island. Here you find dozens of sea-slugs during each dive - and here I discovered my first Chromodoris striatella. It has an orange or yellow border of the mantle. At the inner edge of the orange border is a white line. This shot shows a specimen laying eggs.
Pretty similar is Chromodoris lineolata which has a black line at the inner edge of the orange border.
