Diversidoris flava is a yellow species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.^[2]

Distribution

This nudibranch was originally described from East Africa, but it has an Indo-West Pacific distribution including Australia (Queensland) and Hawaii.^[3]

Description

This species is usually less than 50 mm (2.0 in) in length. It has a yellow body with an identifying red mantle margin which has two semi-permanent mantle folds about mid-body. The rhinophores and branchia (gills) are yellow. Identifying individual yellow sea slugs within the genus Diversidoris can be challenging because yellow forms exist in several related species.^[4]^[5]

Ecology

This species is often found on the yellow sponge Hyrtios, which appears to be its preferred food source.^[6]
