Magic Carpet Rainbow Dorid [Goniobranchus albopunctatus]
Description
As its name suggests, this nudibranch can look like a living patchwork of color, with vivid spots and a “carpet-like” pattern. Underwater, it’s typically found on or near reef habitats where divers may see it cruising calmly over the seafloor, often pausing as it searches for food.
