Okenia kondoi is a small dorid, recognisable according to following characteristics :
- the body is pink or red, with long appendages on the back
- there are 4 pairs of appendages, white at the base and pink or red at the tip ; 2 appendages in front of the rhinophores are pointed while 7 ones behind the rhinophores are rounded
- the rhinophores have the same colour than the body
- there are 3 gills, white at the base and pink or red at the tip
Okenia kondoi feeds on the bryozoan Tropidozoum cellariforme, on which you have to look for this species. The former name is Sakishimaia kondoi.

Okenia kondoi is very similar to Okenia nakamotoensis. They can be distinguished according to the number of dorsal appendages : O. nakamotoensis has 5 pairs, while O. kondoi has only 4 pairs of appendages.

Okenia kondoi is also similar to Okenia hallucigenia. The colour of the dorsal appendages allows to distinguish them : they are completely pink in O. hallucigenia and white at the base in O. kondoi.

Also, Okenia kondoi could be mistaken for Okenia rosacea and Okenia hiroi. But, unlike O. kondoi these 2 species have a large number of dorsal papillae.
