Scribbled nudibranch Photo by Adriaan Johnson Colour variations. Photos Guido Zsilavecz	Scribbled nudibranch Doriopsilla miniata This is a moderately uncommon nudibranch. It reaches about 5 cm in length, and occurs on both sides of the Peninsula, from close inshore down to at least 30m. The irregular pattern of white lines is characteristic, but the base colour is somewhat variable, ranging from yellow all over, to dark on top with orange edges. It feeds on sponges. For more details, see "Nudibranchs of the Cape Peninsula and False Bay", available directly from SURG, and better dive stored in Cape Town.
