(Montagu, 1815)
» 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 aeolid nudibranch is characterised by the translucent pink-purple coloration on the body and cerata, by the opaque white rings at the tips of the cerata, and by the rather pale white tips to the oral tentacles and rhinophores. Also, in Flabellina pedata the rhinophores are smooth and the cerata are grouped in bunches, each bunch arising from a common base.
