Hermann Bornella Nudibranch
Bornella hermanni
Bornella hermanni is a sea slug species of Bornellidae family.
It has an elongate general body shape, typical of the genus, with well-developed rhinophore stalks, paired dorso-lateral processes and oral tentacles elaborated into digitate oral lobes. The animal is a translucent cream colour with a broken network of red-orange lines on the back and sides of the body and scattered subepidermal opaque white granules which are sometimes aggregated in irregular patches. The colour pattern can extend onto the rhinophore stalk and the dorso-lateral processes. The lobe-like oral tentacle papillae, the branches of the rhinophore sheaths and the dorsolateral processes are translucent or pigmented white, sometimes with some yellow-orange pigmentation.
