Hypselodoris bullocki is a species of colorful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.
Hypselodoris bullocki is quite variable in color. What may be another species has been named Hypselodoris apolegma; it looks quite similar to this species and may turn out to be merely a different color form of H. bullocki.[1]
[edit] Distribution
This nudibranch is found in the Tropical Western Pacific Ocean and the eastern Indian Ocean.[2]
