Beautiful Split-tooth Dorid [Hypselodoris maridadilus]
Description
As the name suggests, this nudibranch often appears especially vivid, with elegant color contrasts and a clean, attractive shape. Divers typically encounter it slowly moving over reef substrates, where it may pause and blend into the background before continuing on. Spotting one is usually a matter of scanning carefully in spongey areas.
