Ferreiraella (charazata) [Ferreiraella charazata]
Description
Ferreiraella charazata is a cryptic sea slug, so divers usually encounter it only after careful searching. Look for a small, moving silhouette on rocks or reef surfaces—its presence is often tied to the microhabitats and food availability in that area.
