Favorinus tsuruganus is characterized by its opaque white body, and by the black rhinophores which have three 'cup-shaped' or 'collar-like' swellings.
The cerata are translucent with a black tip, but digestive gland duct is orange, giving the species its distinctive colouration. It feeds
like most species of Favorinus on the eggs of other sea-slugs. In most species of Favorinus depends the colour
of the digestive glands on the colour of the eggs they have been eating.
In Favorinus tsuruganus however, are the cerata consistently yellow-orange with a black tip.
