Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa [Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa]
Description
As its name suggests, this species is known for vivid coloration with noticeable spots or markings that can pop dramatically in clear water. Divers often find it on reef rocks and along the edges of ledges, where it can be easier to spot against darker backgrounds. With careful, slow searching, you may see it moving across the bottom in short, unhurried bursts.
