Distribution

This species was first described from Plymouth, United Kingdom. It has subsequently been reported widely in Britain and Ireland, and south to Galicia, Spain.[2]

Description

This dendronotid nudibranch is translucent white with dark red spots on the ceratal tubercles. Extra spots occur on the surfaces of the cerata between the tubercles. The back and sides are spattered with red pigment which extends up the inner faces of the rhinophore sheaths.[3]

Ecology

Doto millbayana feeds on the hydroid Plumularia setacea, family Plumulariidae.

gollark: I would be worried about the networking between the payment terminals and central server, too - if it's not secured properly people could intercept it and/or run attacks on it.
gollark: You *don't* trust the payment terminals, because people can go around editing the code on them to do basically whatever, and they have to read the card and contact the bank server.
gollark: You trust the central server but it can't actually physically be there to handle every transaction somehow.
gollark: You trust the card but it's a blind data storage device which can't compute or do networking.
