This species is translucent with opaque white pigment on the cerata and oral tentacles. There is a brown spot on the upper surface of each of the cerata.[2] The distinguishing features of this species are discussed in relation to Cerberilla chavezi by Hermosillo & Valdés, (2007).[3]

The maximum recorded body length is 25 mm.[4]
