Leminda millecra from Cape Town, South Africa
Identification verified by Richard Willan
 

Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert

Comment from Richard Willan: One of South Africa’s most distinctive and most special endemic nudibranchs. It is recognised by the smooth rhinophores and large, wavy notal brim. The triangular oral veil is just visible above the front of the rounded foot. This juvenile individual is on one of its host, the sea fan Leptogorgia palma. The other food is the purplish soft coral Alcyonium fauri.
