Rostanga aliusrubens is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae.
This species was described from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. [2]
This dorid nudibranch is red and the dorsum is covered with caryophyllidia; it is very similar to other species of Rostanga. [1]
Rostanga aliusrubens is found on the red sponge, Clathria lendenfeldi (family Microcionidae) on which it presumably feeds. [1] Most other species of Rostanga also feed on sponges of the family Microcionidae.
