Pustulose Pantechnicon Dorid [Ceratosoma pustulosum]
Description
As the name suggests, this species often shows a bumpy or pustule-like texture on its body, making it stand out to divers who slow down and look closely. It’s typically found on rocky or reef-associated habitats where it can graze and remain close to its preferred food. Divers may notice it staying relatively still between movements, then slowly inching along the substrate.
