Ocellated Wart Slug [Phyllidia ocellata]
Description
As the name suggests, this nudibranch features eye-like spots (ocelli) that stand out against its colorful body. Divers commonly encounter it on reef slopes and around sponge-rich areas, where it grazes and moves with a deliberate, unhurried pace. Its vivid markings and textured surface make it one of the more photogenic slugs underwater.
