Distribution
This species was first described from Bali, Indonesia.[2]
Description
This goniodorid nudibranch is opaque white in colour, with a thin brown ring halfway along the oral tentacles. The gills are unusually large for a Trapania and the body is covered with raised irregular bumps.
Ecology
Trapania armilla probably feeds on Entoprocta, which often grow on sponges and other living substrata.
