Pantechnicon Dorid [Ceratosoma polyomma]
Description
This dorid nudibranch can be surprisingly eye-catching despite its camouflage-like appearance. Divers may spot it on hard bottoms where sponges and other sessile life provide both cover and feeding opportunities. Look for its gentle, unhurried movement and the way it holds its body as it navigates the reef surface.
