- Max size: 10 cm

This nudibranch carries its body in soft folds and lobes, often in warm colours, and grows to about ten centimetres on shallow reefs. Like others in its family it feeds on sponges, and a raised flap at its tail end helps steer any nipping predator toward a less vital part of its body.
