About Doto greenamyeri Shipman & Gosliner, 2015

This species of nudibranch has a translucent white body, with the pink ovotestis visible in mature individuals. A longitudinal brown pigment stripe runs along the midline of its back; this stripe splits into two on the head and extends to the animal's brown rhinophores. Its cerata have a distinctive shape: they lack tubercles, but have a series of raised rings on their outer surfaces. Bumpy white pseudobranchs grow on the inner faces of the cerata. The apices of the cerata's raised rings have brown lines, which are bordered by orange. This species reaches a maximum total length of 15 mm. This species was first described from a specimen collected at 20 meters depth at Samarai Island, in Kwato Channel, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea. It is also known to occur in Indonesia. Doto greenamyeri lives on colonies of an aglaopheniid hydroid.
