Felimare juliae is a species of sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae.

Distribution

This species was described from a specimen measuring collected intertidally at Praia das Conchas, Cabo Frio, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a paratype, from Ilha dos Papagaios, Cabo Frio. Reported from Florida and probably present at intermediate localities in the western Atlantic Ocean.

Description

Felimare juliae is similar in appearance to Felimare picta with a dark blue background colour but is densely covered on the mantle and foot with fine longitudinal orange lines. The mantle has a frilly edge with a marginal orange line enclosing a series of larger pale blue spots and pale blue spots occur amongst the orange lines.
