Short description Morphology
Body color ranges from a dirty translucent white to brown, with scattered bright yellow and dark brown-black spots. Around the edge of the head shield or veil, the brown-black spots form an outer band, while the yellow spots form an inner band. At the posterior end of the body, the raised caudal crest also has an outer band of brown-black spots and an inner band of yellow.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Nudibranchia are simultaneous hermaphrodites. Mating behavior: Both individuals darts their penis toward each other to induce one to act as a male and the other as the female. The victorious one to penetrate the body wall is the dominant male. Life cycle: Eggs are deposited on a substratum where they develop and hatch into (planktonic) vestigial veliger larval stage and further grow as adults.
