1 snake head Bai Ni Shen, general body length 30-50cm, back deep grey or grey leucorrhea yellow, there are many significant snake eye shaped markings, the markings around shallow color, within a black circle, circle is yellow, with a central spot, point out from a small warts, often arranged irregular longitudinal. Export bias on the ventral surface, with tentacles 20. The ventral surface is flat, grayish brown, densely many and irregular arrangement of the tube foot. Back fragment mainly for the character of different patterns of body; abdominal skin bone piece is ovoid grain and grape-like pattern body.
2 patterns of Bai Ni parameter, obese, length 30cm, width 8-10cm left and right sides, front and rear ends are almost as wide as. Export bias on the ventral surface, with tentacles 20. Systemic spread of many smaller tube foot, irregularly arranged, along the ventral central lines are arranged in dense. Back light tan, before and after the two port russet transverse spots or patches. The ventral color is shallow to yellowish or white. Back skin bone slices for the distal branches 2-4 X shaped rosette; abdominal skin bone slices are also patterns, but the branches are wide and short, even to ovoid particles.
