Hypselodoris krakatoa was named after an Indonesian island which
exploded in a massive volcanic eruption because of the high volcanoe-like
gill pocket. Hypselodoris krakatoa is characterized by a pale brown
background colour and a broad dark brown band around the mantle edge and
transverse band of the same colour across the midway between the gills
and the rhinophores. There is a longitudinal row of bright white spots
down the dorsal midline and a submarginal row of spots which runs around
the mantle edge. This shot shows a
juvenile specimen.
