Trapania tora is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae .
This species was described from Bali, Indonesia. [1] It has since been reported from Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. [2]
This goniodorid nudibranch is black or dark grey in colour, with a pattern of white patches and thin white lines forming a network on the body. There are raised, rounded tubercles on the back and behind the gills which are white. The gills, papillae and rhinophores are translucent with white superficial pigment.
