Conclusion: Caloria indica
Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 90% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Translucent-white body with paired orange anterior markings
- Long white oral tentacles
- Repeated fusiform cerata with orange-brown digestive-gland fields, dark subapical marks, blue bands and opaque-white tips
- Overall head-and-cerata combination agrees with the source diagnosis, although the rhinophores are partly obscured by angle
Alternatives considered
- Other tropical facelinid aeolid
Why plausible: White-bodied facelinids can converge on banded cerata
Comparison: Radula, reproductive anatomy and DNA would provide confirmation
Evidence limits & sources +−
- • Rhinophore banding is not fully resolved in this angle
- • No specimen-level internal or molecular evidence
