Description
This species is called the lettuce slug because it is often green in color, and it always has a very frilly edge to its parapodia. This makes the slug resemble the curly kinds of lettuce, such as the lollo rosso variety. The maximum length of this species is about 50 mm.
The lettuce slug is extremely variable in color: it can also be blue, or very pale with red lines or yellow lines.
