Black-lined Split-tooth Dorid [Hypselodoris nigrolineata]
Description
This dorid nudibranch is a striking sight on rocky reefs, often showing bold dark lines that stand out against a lighter body. Divers may spot it slowly gliding along the substrate, where it grazes on sponge growth. Its vivid patterning and calm, deliberate movement make it a favorite for underwater photographers.
