Costasiella mandorahae [Costasiella mandorahae]
Description
This small nudibranch is typically encountered in shallow, reef-adjacent habitats where it can be found on or near its food sources. Underwater, it often appears as a compact, vividly colored slug that stands out against darker rock or algae. Patient divers who slow down and scan the substrate are most likely to find it.
