Doriprismatica sibogae is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. ^{[2] [3]}

Distribution

This species is found in the tropical Pacific Ocean and is known from Indonesia, Fiji and French Polynesia. ^[4]

Description

Doriprismatica sibogae is very similar in appearance to Doriprismatica atromarginata , but can be distinguished from that species by the intense yellow colour of the mantle and foot. The black mantle edge is separated from the yellow of the back by a white line. ^{[4] [5] [6] [7]}
