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.

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