The scribbled nudibranch Doriopsilla miniata, so named because of the white scribbled lines along the back, is an uncommon nudibranch. It exhibits some variation in its colouration, as the images show. Little else is known about this species.
For more details on this species, see "Nudibranchs of the Cape Peninsula and False Bay" available directly from SURG or better dive and book stores in Cape Town.
