Okenia atkinsonorum is a species of colourful sea slug, specifically a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae.[2]
This species is known from New South Wales, southeastern Australia and probably also from Northern New Zealand.[3]
This brightly coloured species is completely pink. Only the tips of the mantle projections, rhinophores and gills have a darker shade of the same color. It does not have a traditionally shaped mantle, but instead has up to seven lateral appendages or papillae that protrude from the main body.
This species feeds on the bryozoan Pleurotoichus clathratus.
