Atagema intecta (Kelaart, 1858) has a body that reaches 1 and 1/4 inches (31.75 mm) in length. Its mantle is warty and dark brown, appearing almost black, with a thick, pale, opaque white line running along its midline. The dorsal tentacles are brown, club-shaped, and layered. The oral tentacles are long, straight, and pointed, and are a bright brown shade. This species has six tripinnate gill plumes, which are golden brown in color. Its foot is also golden brown, narrow in shape, and extends further than the mantle. This species was first described from specimens collected in Sri Lanka, and occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific Ocean. As a dorid nudibranch, Atagema intecta feeds on sponges.
