Description
Elysia diomedea grows to a length of about 50 millimetres (2.0 in). It is a pale green colour with longitudinal streaks of white. The parapodia are densely convoluted and edged with orange and black. They are not joined at the front and when they are spread apart, they reveal blue spots underneath. Parts of the gut ramify into the foot, causing green patches which are interspersed with translucent white streaks. The rhinophores have longitudinal stripes of yellow and black.
