Queen Split-tooth Dorid [Hypselodoris regina]
Description
Divers often spot this dorid nudibranch cruising along rocky bottoms and among sponges, where its vivid coloration stands out against the substrate. Look for a smooth, mantle-like body with distinctive raised textures and a striking, queenly look that makes it a favorite subject for underwater photos.
