• Norwegian: -

Characteristics:

It is not seen too often by divers, perhaps due to its modest size. It rarely exceeds a body length of 15 mm. The white tipped cerata are usually filled with an orange or red digestive gland. The body has a white, translucent color. It may be confused with small individuals of other Flabellina species, but the cerata are perhaps more distinctly arranged in two rows than most other species. The head tentacles, the tips of the cerata and tail are covered by white pigmentation spots.

Habitat:

It thrives on sheltered, but current exposed locations, from the tidal zone and down to 120 metres. It is reported to feed on Eudendrium spp.

Distribution:

This is a species from the North Atlantic Ocean, from Iceland and Norway to France and from Newfoundland to New England.
