Chromodoris quadricolor is a species of very colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc. This dorid nudibranch lives in the Western Indian Ocean. The specific epithet quadricolor means four-coloured, so-named because this nudibranch is yellow, white, blue and black in color. Superfamily: Doridoidea, Family: Chromodorididae, Genus: Chromodoris, Species: Chromodoris quadricolor (Rueppell & Leuckart, 1828).
