The very colourful Dorid Nudibranch Sea Slug Chromodoris quadricolor Rüppell & Leuckart, 1828 is a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc species. The specific epithet quadricolor means four-coloured, so-named because this nudibranch is yellow, white, blue and black in colour (Wikipedia). This dorid nudibranch was described from the Red Sea where it is one of the commonest nudibranchs. It has been reported from other localities in the Western Indian Ocean (Wikipedia). This species feeds on the red sponge Negombata magnifica Keller, 1889 (Wikipedia). The pictures in our article are showing the nudibranch Chromodoris quadricolor from the Palestinian waters in the Gulf of Aqaba.
