About Doriopsilla fulva (MacFarland, 1905)
This species of nudibranch, Doriopsilla fulva, can grow up to 33 millimeters in length. Its body is pale yellow, and opaque white dots appear on the tips of its dorsal tubercles, not in the spaces between the tubercles. Its rhinophores have 10 to 12 lamellae, with a pale yellow club and a white stalk. The gills are white and have five pinnae. Doriopsilla fulva is frequently confused with Doriopsilla albopunctata and multiple other species that make up a pseudocryptic species complex. This nudibranch is distributed along the California coast, from Point Loma in San Diego north to Humboldt County.
