Hypselodoris rosans is a species of colourful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. [2] [3]
This species was described from Ile aux Fouquets, Mauritius, Indian Ocean. This species has not been reported by subsequent authors. Animals reported from Réunion and Madagascar as Chromodoris bullocki are possibly this species in view of the revision of the Hypselodoris bullocki clade in 2018. [4] [5]
Bergh suggests a possible synonymy with Chromodoris bullocki and quotes Moebius' description as follows (translated from German) "bright rose-red on the back, the mantle with snow-white margin; the rhinophores saffron yellow with scarlet margins of the leaves; the (9) gill leaves on the ground saffron yellow, otherwise scarlet red; the back of the tail bluish red ".
The Chromodorididae, or chromodorids, are a taxonomic family of colourful, sea slugs; dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea. “Chromodorid nudibranchs are among the most gorgeously coloured of all animals.” The over 360 described species are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters, as members of coral reef communities, specifically associated with their sponge prey. The chromodorids are the most speciose family of opisthobranchs. They range in size from <10mm to over 30 cm, although most species are approximately 15–30 mm in size.

Chromodoris is a genus of very colourful sea slugs or dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs, and the type genus of in the family Chromodorididae. Within the genus Chromodoris, there are currently 101 classified species. Species within Chromodoris are commonly found in tropical and subtropical waters, living as members of reef communities and preying primarily on sponges. A molecular phylogeny of the family Chromodorididae resulted in this genus being restricted to a smaller number of species than formerly, most of which have longitudinal black lines on the mantle. Many former members of Chromodoris were transferred to Goniobranchus
