Ardeadoris cf. egretta Rudman, 1984
The white slug with the orange edge of the mantle is said to grow up to 15 cm long. The rhinophores are white, the gills are orange. The photo comes from Tanzania.
The Ardeadoris pictured is a scientifically undescribed species. It closely resembles Ardeadoris egretta, in which both rhinophores and gills are white. In the undescribed species, the rhinophores are also white, but the gills are orange. It should also be significantly larger. In addition, the back of the foot has a bluish border.
It can be assumed that the slug, like all members of its genus, feeds on sponges.
