We saw several of these in the Tulamben area. These are similar in shape to Eubranchus ocellatus, E. sp. b056 and E. cf mandapamensis and in some characters the species seem to blend together. This group could use some DNA work to try to determine if they all belong to a single variable species. Primary differentiating characters of E. rubropunctatus are the blue subapical ring with darker spots on the cerata and the irregularly warty rhinophores.
