This is an infrequently seen nudibranch, although it is wide-spread, and it has been spotted at Coral Gardens, A-Frame, Windmill, Pyramid Rock, and various dive sites south of Gordon's Bay. It feeds on sponges, and can be found from the intertidal zone to at least 30 m depths.
The colour is somewhat variable, ranging from yellow to orange, often with the central part of the back darker. The white irregular lines are distinctive.
