Hypselodoris whitei is a colourful species of sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.
This nudibranch was described from Caramata Passage between Sumatra and Borneo. It is reported from the Tropical Western Pacific from Australia to Hawaii.[3]
Hypselodoris whitei has a yellow body with purple longitudinal lines, and a purple bordered mantle. The gills and rhinophores are bright orange tipped with white. It is very similar in appearance to Hypselodoris maridadilus but that species lacks the white-tipped rhinophores and gills. This species can reach a total length of at least 40 mm and feeds on sponges.[3][4]
