A yellow nudibranch with a purple trim around the mantle skirt and purple polka dots with a white ring around them on its dorsum. The rhinophores and gills are also yellow. A yellow nudibranch with black lines on it. A white nudibranch sea slug with a yellow edge around the mantle skirt. A colorful Thuridilla sacoglossan sea slug. The slug is blue with red/orange rhinophores and an undulating blacking yellow line down each side of the parapodia.
