Description Up to 30 cm long. Distinctive, with ridges of large tubercles running down centre of body, and a series of tubercles running parallel to the margin. The body is firm leathery, colour varies from blackish-grey to brown, with paler tubercles and patches of white. This provides the species with camouflage well suited to its preferred habitat. The egg ribbon, in contrast, is pink. Habitat: under shallow rocks and boulders. Distribution: Indo-Pacific. N.B. many synonyms for this species exist. [details]
