Information

Comment from expert, Richard Willan: This dorid nudibranch is characterised by black to deep blue body with vivid yellow streaks running along the body, by the yellow streaks on the axes of the gills, and by a series of pustules on the body and tail crest. As it is presently understood this is a very variable species, but it may be a group of species.
