Here is some information and photos on Goniodoris felis from Brian Darvell's Hong Kong collections.

The colour is quite distinctive with an opaque white head and dorsum and gills with a few dark brown patches. The sides of the body are translucent clear with some brown and white mottling. Specimens were 17 mm long preserved.
