R is for Reticulidia (Phyllidiidae) in today’s #AtoZ

RSea slug with a narrow longitudinal ridge and a tranverse ridge at right angles, so it looks as though it is divided into four. The ridges are yellow and the body is speckled white with big black blotches. The slug is crawling over what appears to be an orange-coloured sponge. eticulidia fungia: Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. © uwkwaj CC BY-NC https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/173996547 A lilac-blue sea slug with tall ridges and two bright yellow tentacles.
