Favorinus auritulus Er. Marcus, 1955
Body translucent clear with scattered white patching all over body and cerata. Bottom half to two thirds of rhinophores is sometimes brown. Rhinophores usually have 3 swellings on the rhinophores but the number ranges from one to three, apparently dependent on the animal's length.
This species feeds mainly on opisthobranch eggs, and the colour of the eggs can chnage the colour of the ceratal digestive gland. Feed sometimes on the arborescent bryozoan Zoobotryon verticillatum.
