Posted by: john In: animals| pictures

This relatively large species, sometimes growing more than 5 inches long, seems to range in color. Essentially black with green pustules, or green longitudinal ridges, there is a bright orange border to the foot and around the oral lappets. In some specimens the rhinophores and gills have orange markings but in others, these are green. In Western Australia the black background region can have pinkinsh orange spots or elongate marks.

what awesome creatures lay hidden from open view. i will venture these creatures live on “living” coral reefs which pretty much makes them close to endangered if not endangered ….
