Goniobranchus petechialis [Goniobranchus petechialis]
Description
This species is known for its distinctive speckling or fine spotting, giving it a lively, “freckled” appearance. Divers frequently encounter it on reef flats or along rocky patches, where it can perch on the substrate and blend in until you get close. Its bright patterning and calm, steady movement make it a favorite for macro-focused dives.
