Tergipes RB1

This slender aeolid nudibranch is undescribed, but often found on the leaves of brown algae. It is transparent, with some white and brown patches and a small number (3-4 pairs) of white-striped cerata. It most closely resembles other aeolid nudibranchs, but can be identified by its slender body and straight, sparsely distributed and unadorned cerata.
