Pink Sponge Velvet Dorid [Jorunna liviae]
Description
Divers often spot this dorid nudibranch as a soft, velvety pink “blob” perched on or near sponges. Its color and texture help it blend into sponge habitats, and it typically moves slowly along the substrate while feeding. Look closely for its subtle body texture and the way it stays close to sponge growths.
