Conclusion: Favorinus tsuruganus

Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 96% reviewer confidence.

Reasoning recorded at review

  • Translucent to opaque white body
  • Translucent-black rhinophores with three collar-like lamellae visible
  • Orange to salmon digestive-gland field in the cerata
  • Black apical marking repeated across multiple cerata
  • The visible character combination matches the external diagnosis of Favorinus tsuruganus

Alternatives considered

  • Other Favorinus species

    Why plausible: Egg-eating Favorinus can converge on pale bodies and coloured cerata

    Comparison: Anal position, radula and COI would confirm
