Deep Pyjama Rainbow Dorid [Chromodoris helium]
Description
As its name suggests, this species is typically encountered at greater depths where light is dimmer and colors can look extra dramatic. Divers may spot it as a striking, patterned nudibranch—almost like a “striped” or “pyjama” look—resting or crawling near its preferred habitat.
