Polycera alabe is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae.
This species of polycerid nudibranch was described from the southeast side of Isla de Cedros, Baja California, Mexico. The species appears to be confined to Mexico and southern California, being replaced by a similar species, Polycera anae further south in Costa Rica and Panama. [2]
The body of Polycera alabe is black with raised orange spots covering the back and sides. The oral veil has 4 tapering papillae which are either dark grey or white and the gills and rhinophores are black with a few orange spots. [2] [3]

Polycera is a genus of sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Polyceridae.
Polycera abei is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.
The crowned nudibranch is a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae.
Polycera quadrilineata, is a sea slug, a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. The specific epithet quadrilineata means four-lined and refers to the four longitudinal black lines present on the original specimen. This species is sometimes called the fourline nudibranch. In 2020 a integrative molecular and morphological study showed that P. quadrilineata was a complex of two species in the NE Atlantic and one of these species was given the new name Polycera norvegica.
The twin-crowned nudibranch, scientific name Polycera sp., as designated by Gosliner, 1987, is a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. As of November 2009, it was undescribed by science.
