This species is diurnal, so it is easier to see it at sunrise or sunset for divers.
Although rarer than other nudibranchs, it is well colored and is well marked.
He is not afraid to move on sight, with defensive glands on his body.
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
