Phyllidia elegans

Scientific name : Phyllidia elegans


Hard back, covered with many tubercles. Pinkish-grey background colour, with black lines and white (or yellow) tubercles. Yellow rhynophores. No gills. 5 cm.
Quite easy to distinguish from the other Phyllidia species, for the many tubercles and for the thin black lines. For the latter reason it recalls Phyllidiopsis pipeki and both Phyllidiopsis shirinae with different rhynophore colour.
