Doto escatllari is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dotidae.
This species was first described from the Canary Islands. It has subsequently been reported from the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, [2] Barbados [3] and Panama. [4]
The body is short and narrow. [4] Rhinophores are smooth and with opaque white dots. [4] Rhinophoral sheaths are with small frontal extensions. [4] Cerata are large with rounded tubercles; apical tubercles much larger than the rest. [4] The cerata are translucent blue, and the ceratal tubercles have no dark spots and contain dense concentrations of rounded hyaline glandular structures. [5] Background color is translucent gray with a series of dark brown spots on the dorsum. [4] Cerata are with dark brown branches of the digestive gland and bluish tubercles. [4] This dendronotid nudibranch is translucent white with mid-sized black spots scattered over the top and sides of the body. [5] In the internal base of the ceratal peduncle there is a black mark below the three-lobed transparent pseudobranch. [5]
Minimum recorded depth is 1 m. [6] Maximum recorded depth is 4 m. [6]
Doto escatllari was found associated with small hydroids [4] of the family Sertulariidae; these are probably its prey.[ citation needed ]
