Discodoris (Peltodoris) atromaculata  (common name: Dotted sea slug (UK), Doris dalmatien (F) Leopardenschnecke  (D))

The dotted pattern of this slug, on the brilliantly white body, made it a particularly interesting topic. Interestingly enough the environment was not the best to allow for colour adaptation, given the base colour of the animal.
