Description

The body of this nudibranch is translucent white with pink ovotestis visible in mature individuals. There is a longitudinal stripe of brown pigment along the midline of the back which bifurcates on the head and leads to the brown rhinophores. The cerata are distinctive in shape, without tubercles but with a series of raised rings on their outer faces. They have bushy white pseudobranchs on the inner faces and the raised rings have brown lines at their apices, edged by orange. The maximum length of this species is 15 mm. [1]

Ecology

Doto greenamyeri is found on colonies of an aglaopheniid hydroid.
