Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [139939<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Description
\n<\/strong>This species reaches a maximum length of 30mm. The body is translucent white with broken lines of white surface pigment on the cerata, anterior foot corners and along the midline of the back. There are three large annulations (more or less bulbous) on each rhinophore. The distal portions of the rhinophores and the long oral tentacles are pigmented with white.<\/p>\n

Biology
\n<\/strong>This species feeds on the eggs of other nudibranchs and is likely to be found in small numbers wherever other nudibranchs are abundant. It lays a convoluted white string of eggs, normally coiled around hydroid stems.<\/p>\n
