The body of this nudibranch is translucent white with yellow processes and a yellow line along the ridge of the tail. The oral veil has eight or more yellow projections.

Some individuals have yellow spots or lines on the body. The animal may reach 30mm in total length. It is distinguished from Polycera quadrilineata in having more than six processes on the oral veil and a more squat body shape.
