Baeolidia lunaris Carmona, Pola, Gosliner & Cervera, 2014
This species was described from a specimen found in shallow water feeding on Hexcorallians at Mana Huanja Island, Mtwara Region, Tanzania.
The body is translucent brownish covered with fine iridescent opaque white spots. Rhinophores are approximately equal in length to the oral tentacles and are densely covered by elongate papillae. The rhinophores are translucent brown with small white spots and white tips.
Oral tentacles are short and slender, tapering near apices, also translucent brown in colour. Cerata are moderately long, flattened and leaf-like and curved inwardly. They are the same colour as the body, but a little bit darker. There is a crescent-shaped white spot on anterior side of cerata, close to the base.
The specific name "lunaris" refers to the white patch present at the base of the cerata, similar to the moon (flatin: lunaris, the moon).
