Discodoris cebuensis Bergh, 1877

Discodoris cebuensis is known in the Marshalls from a single specimen found on 2 September 2008 in an eastern lagoon reef Halimeda patch. The 50mm long animal was nestled in the algae at a depth of about 8m. This species is quite similar in appearance to some forms of Discodoris boholiensis, but can be distinguished by the several purple pustules dorsally and a bright yellow foot.

The underside is yellow with brown markings along the margin of the foot.
