Distribution: Few SA records. Port Noarlunga, Venus Bay, Edithburgh and Encounter Bay
Habitat: On Caulerpa algae
Depth: Subtidal to 8+ metres
Extremely difficult to spot amongst the Caulerpa it usually calls home, this sap-sucking sea slug is nonetheless quite large. It is a bright green in colour, with a few scattered blueish white spots on the rounded cerata that closely resemble the ramuli of its food source. Its smooth rhinophores are the same colour as the rest of the animal, but are tipped with the same white shade. It is unknown whether this species is introduced to SA, but it is widespread in the Indo-west Pacific.
