Field Notes

Description:

Taringa halgerda is white with very distinct yellow tubercles covering the mantle. The gills of this nudibranch are white, faintly outlined in black, and the rhinophores are black. This species can reach a length of at least 40mm.

It can be confused with Taringa luteola but there are differences in the coloration, tubercles and some aspects of its internal anatomy.

Habitat:

Coral reef, sandy bottom.

Notes:

A very small Nudibranch which i first encounter, and as usual, can't find the picture and name in my identification book.about 2cm .
