It also has more or less regularly spaced large conical yellow tubercles, each positioned at the center of a white ring. Its ventral surface is pale cream, and there is a median black line running along the bottom of its foot sole. Its oral tentacles are long and cylindrical. This species has been recorded in the western Pacific Ocean, specifically in Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji.
