The brown-dotted nudibranch, Cadlina sp.2, as designated by Gosliner, 1987, is a species of colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Cadlinidae.
This species has so far only been found around the southern African coast on both sides of the Cape Peninsula intertidally to 30 m. It remained undescribed by science as at November 2009 and is probably endemic.[1]
