Red-spotted Split-tooth Dorid [Hypselodoris fucata]
Description
This striking dorid nudibranch is known for its bold, contrasting patterning—often with vivid red spotting against a darker body. Divers commonly spot it cruising slowly along rocky bottoms or among sponges, where its coloration helps it stand out in the low light of the reef.
