Pegantha rubiginosa [Pegantha rubiginosa]
Description
Divers may spot this small, delicate-looking nudibranch as it creeps along rocky or algae-covered substrates. Its subtle coloration and fine body texture help it blend in with the seafloor, but with a careful look you can see it actively feeding and moving in short, deliberate bursts.
