Red-spotted Rainbow Dorid [Goniobranchus heatherae]
Description
As the name suggests, divers may notice a bright, rainbow-like body dotted with distinct red spots. It’s commonly found in areas with abundant prey, often lingering close to the substrate rather than swimming freely. With good buoyancy, you can get a close look at its delicate texture and vivid patterning.
