Peppercorn Velvet Dorid [Jorunna parva]
Description
Small and wonderfully cryptic, this dorid nudibranch often looks like a tiny patch of velvety “speckled” texture on the seafloor. Divers may spot it slowly creeping over algae or sponges, where its mottled coloration helps it blend into the background.
