A soft white body gives Diana’s Chromodoris a surprisingly bold canvas for its thick black markings, which break into loose, uneven bands across the back and around the mantle. Bright orange rims the edges, while matching orange rhinophores and a fan of pale gills tipped in yellow rise above the body. Against the dark reef, the contrast is almost graphic, with each black mark looking deliberately placed even though no two seem quite alike.
