About Doris odhneri (MacFarland, 1966)
Doris odhneri is the largest nudibranch found along the California coast, growing up to 20 centimeters in length. It is typically solid pure white with no visible markings, though rare individuals with a yellowish color have been recorded in the Puget Sound region. A prominent feature of this species is its gill, which is made up of seven soft, feathery plumes. Its sensory rhinophores carry between 20 and 24 lamellae each. The known distribution of Doris odhneri ranges from the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska south to Point Loma, California. Populations have also been recorded in Korea.
