This species is Janolus sp. 1 in IPN at page 317: Gosliner, Terrence M., David W. Behrens & Ángel Valdés. 2008. Indo-Pacific Nudibranchs and Sea Slugs. Sea Challengers Natural History Books. Gig Harbor, Washington. 426pp. The cerata and the rhinophores are pale yellowish/cream with a bright blue tip and a purple subapical band, and opaque white specks and warts. The caruncle is opaque white. Pretty similar are: Janolus sp. 01 which differs by the rhinophores: brown with white tips, and the cerata: yellow subapical ring Janolus savinkini which has no opaque white spots on the cerata and rhinophores Janolus sp. 05 which differs by the rhinophores: blueish tinge with darker apices, and by the cerata: translucent with a diffuse yellowish ring below the purple ring, and lacks the opaque white spots on the cerata and rhinophores. It was originally posted at these websites as Janolus sp. C Genus: Bergh, 1884. For some genera, such as Trinchesia was the alphabet almost through. I had to change the distinguishing alphabetic character into a number. I have chosen 2-digit numbers, even though '01' looks a little bit stupid, and now is only the genus italic written.
