Phestilla lugubris has a broad body with a wide head.
The cerata are nodulose, translucent tan, with many swellings, the apex is opaque white. Phestilla lugubris is almost always found associated with the coral Porites
on which it feeds. It grows up to 40 mm length. It is able to autotomise (break off) their cerata when disturbed or roughly handled.
