Short description Morphology
Characterized by the large, rounded, purple-tipped tubercles scattered all over the mantle. Mantle is yellowish, fading to white near the edge which has an irregular purple border anteriorly and a series of purple spots down each side. Rhinophores are also purple, with the upper half of the gills being lined with the same color.
Assumed maximum length from Ref. 844.
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Nudibranchia are simultaneous hermaphrodites. Mating behavior: Both individuals darts their penis toward each other to induce one to act as a male and the other as the female. The victorious one to penetrate the body wall is the dominant male. Life cycle: Eggs are deposited on a substratum where they develop and hatch into (planktonic) vestigial veliger larval stage and further grow as adults.
