Info

Aldisa albatrossae Elwood, Valdés & Gosliner, 2000

Aldisa albatrossae is a rather small nudibranch, with a length between 11 and 22 mm. The bluish gray dorsum is covered with many white, round tubercles. Typically there is a black line which starts in front of the rhinophores, and continues in a rectangular shape to the gills at the back.

Appears to be a mimic of Phyllidiella pustulosa.
