05 Atalodoris depressa

The head is usually restricted to the mouth and large, white oral veil tinted faintly orange by the rest of the orange head and mouthparts within.
The asymmetric orange-brown digestive gland which extends forwards on the left of the animal, can be seen clearly through the sole. The posterior of the foot is smoothly rounded without a taper. The anterior is unevenly flattened with a central indentation around the mouth. The ample mantle extends well beyond foot and head, revealing its shining spicules.
