Doriprismatica sibogae is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. [2]
Distribution
This species is found in the tropical Pacific Ocean and is known from Indonesia, Fiji and French Polynesia.[1]
Description
Doriprismatica sibogae is very similar in appearance to Doriprismatica atromarginata, but can be distinguished from that species by its more intense yellow colour.[1]
