Description

Hypselodoris bertschi has a translucent white body with longitudinal opaque white lines flecked with black-purple spots. The gills and rhinophores are translucent white, lined with orange tips and base. There has been some confusion in the naming of this species, and it is easily confused with Hypselodoris peasei. This species can reach a total length of at least 25 mm.[3][4]
