Identification
A tiny nudibranch - typically between 3 and 8 mm in length. Pure white with distinct yellow (may be orange) ridge up the middle of the dorsum and on the margin. The gills consist of about six branches in pairs around the anus. Behind these are two papillae (thicker than the gill branches) with yellow tips. Gills and rhinophores are non-retractable.
