Distribution
This nudibranch is known to range from Luzon in the Philippines to Sulawesi in Indonesia.[3]
Description
Hypselodoris reidi has a cream-to-white body with white raised spots covering its dorsum. The gills and rhinophores are a pale straw-yellow colour. There are sometimes pale-purple or brown colourations on the body.[4]
This species can reach a total length of at least 50 mm. It is similar in anatomy to Hypselodoris jacksoni and Hypselodoris krakatoa.[3] Genetic evidence suggests that Hypselodoris lacuna, Hypselodoris regina, Hypselodoris krakatoa, Hypselodoris cerisae, Hypselodoris jacksoni, Hypselodoris reidi and Hypselodoris iba are a closely related group of species.[5]
