Doriprismatica kulonba is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.[2] This species was found to belong in a clade with Doriprismatica atromarginata in a molecular phylogeny study.[3]
Distribution
[edit]This species is known only from southeastern Australian, Victoria and Northern Tasmania.[4][5][6]
Description
[edit]Doriprismatica kulonba has a wide mantle overlap and very convoluted mantle margin. It is entirely white in colour apart from a thin band of milky yellow at the edge of the mantle and foot.[7][8][9][10]
