| phylum | Mollusca | Dermatobranchus ornatus is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Arminidae. This species occurs widely throughout the Indo-Pacific region, with records spanning from Oman to Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippine Islands, Indonesia, and Australia. It is typically a large nudibranch, reaching up to 100 mm in length, characterized by its complex pattern of white, brown, and black longitudinal stripes over a pale body. The mantle is wide and textured, and, like other species in the genus Dermatobranchus, it lacks visible rhinophores or gills, having them integrated beneath the mantle.
