It is a specialist feeder, primarily consuming solitary tunicates (sea squirts), they are found on open reefs with plenty of sea squirts, typically at depths of 3 to 30 meters. It has a grey-green to dark green body with blackish longitudinal wrinkles running down the length of the body. Many specimen of this sea slug lack rhinopores.

🐚Most likely an Acteonella fossil, estimated to be around 70 million years old. This region was once covered by sea, and one of the nearby mountains was a massive coral reef in ancient times—traces of a long-lost ocean world, now hidden in stone.
