The upper surface of the thick and elongated body shows a wine color (burgundy) background with turquoise margins and a variable number oval to round yellow-golden spots.

Each pseudotentacle is formed by a broad simple fold of the anterior margins of the body.

There is a single male reproductive organ, that penetrates in any part of the mate's body, and the females have a short vagina directed backwards.

[2] This species is widespread in the tropical Indo-Pacific, from Madagascar and the eastern coast of Africa to Indonesia, Philippines and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia.

[1][2] It can be found in the external slope or top coral reef.
