Description
The body of this dendronotid nudibranch is mostly transparent whitish in colour with brown or black dots forming a marbled pattern on the back and sides. There is a conspicuous black mark in the base of each ceras. The ceratal tubercles are slightly swollen and globular and the digestive gland is pink.[2]
Ecology
Doto rosea has been reported to feed on colonies of the hydroid, Eudendrium sp. (family Eudendriidae).[3]

gollark: You can quite easily do a doubly linked list, but if you manipulate it wrong it might turn into a horrible graph.
gollark: SMH my head, just have an unboxed vector of Word8s and store all data in that?!
gollark: Perhaps something something ring buffer.
