Widespread - found in Indo-Pacific and Indian Ocean.
Identification
A very varied nudibranch. Most have yellow to orange main colour with large black spots (often circled with white) with a white tubercle in the middle. But some are only yellow or orange, some yellow and white, some yellow and black. Also the large spots may be lines, blotches or missing altogether. However, they always have the large tubercles (white or yellow/orange) and are usually out in the open so quite easy to find. Rhinophores lamellate and fully retractile.
