- Typical depth: 10–20 m
- For divers: safe
A sea slug of tropical reefs, the aquafresh rainbow dorid grazes shallow subtidal walls between about 10 and 20 metres. Its bold blue body and bright trim warn of the distasteful chemicals it pulls from the sponges it eats, a borrowed defence common among its kind.
