Its body is translucent white, marked with a pattern of opaque white lines that extend across the body and into the lateral papillae. The oral tentacles, rhinophores, gills, and lateral processes all have yellow-orange pigment at their tips. A narrow white stripe runs along the tail, which ends in an orange tip. This species was first described from specimens collected at Villefranche-sur-Mer in the Mediterranean Sea, and its known range extends from Antalya, Turkey to Spain.
