Haminoea alfredensis
Bartsch, 1915
» If you find this species has been misidentified, please let us know
Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: This bubble snail is characterised by the numerous yellow spots on the head shield (not visible in this photo because it is retracted under the front of the shell as a protection from some disturbance), parapodia and mantle. An indication that the individual has recently been disturbed is the milky white defensive fluid being expelled from the rear end of the shell.
