Pegantha polystriata [Pegantha polystriata]
Description
Divers may see Pegantha polystriata as a small nudibranch with a distinctive, textured look that helps it stand out once you’re close enough. It’s usually associated with the kinds of habitats where nudibranch prey is available, so it’s often found along algae-rich or reefy substrates. With steady, slow searching, this species can become a memorable “find” on a dive.
