Bathydevius is a bizarre nudibranch with a highly unusual appearance, ecology, and taxonomy. It is the first known nudibranch to inhabit the bathypelagic zone , and only one of very few pelagic, free-swimming genera within this generally benthic group.
This species has a maximum size of 70 mm. [2] The background color is deep black. The margin of the parapods and body are marked with a thin electric blue line. The two rather long "tails" at the end of the animal are characteristic of the genus Chelidonura, the left one is always longer.

The colouring is two (or one) bright blue patches on a black background, with an orange outline. This aposematic coloration advertises its toxicity to would-be predators.
Bertsch and Gosliner (1989) [2] erected the name Hypselodoris andersoni for the locust nudibranch, unaware of Bergh's earlier name. However, Rudman (2000) recognized that C. peasei matched the description of H. andersoni and Epstein et al., (2018) formalized the priority of Hypselodoris peasei over H. andersoni .
