Description:
The Red-lined Flabellina is a small, vibrant aeolid nudibranch distinguished by its translucent white to pinkish body adorned with longitudinal red or purple lines running along the dorsal surface and beneath the cerata. The cerata are tipped with purple or violet, adding to its striking appearance. This species exhibits colour variation; some individuals may lack the red lines or display them as a series of red spots. It inhabits coral reefs and rocky substrates, feeding primarily on hydroids. The Red-lined Flabellina is hermaphroditic and engages in reciprocal mating. In Australia, it is recorded from all states, including Tasmania.
