Ferreiraella (bartlettae) [Ferreiraella bartlettae]
Description
Divers are unlikely to spot this species directly because Ferreiraella sea slugs are small and often blend into the reef or rocky substrate. When conditions are right, you may notice a delicate, shell-less nudibranch-like animal moving slowly along the bottom, typically in areas where its food source is present.
