Plakobranchus ocellatus is highly variable, but almost all specimens have ocellae on the dorsal surface and on the parapodia.
The rhinophores are white with bluish-purple tips. It is well-camouflaged, often half buried in
the coral sand, here are 3 specimens.
This shot shows two specimens
mating and this one a colour variant
with dark blue rhinopores.
Plakobranchus ocellatus is one of what Bill Rudman calls
"Solar-powered Sea Slugs".
