Phyllodesmium macphersonae is characterised by scattered brown patches
on most of the body, cerata and tentacles. The uper part of the cerata and
tentacles is white, often with a diffuse yellow band, and below this white
region is a bluish band.
It rapidly drops off many of its cerata when disturbed
(autotomise).
Like other members of the genus Phyllodesmium it is
what Bill Rudman calls
"Solar-powered Sea Slugs".
