Description synthétique
Morphologie
Head shield or veil is not as pronounced as in Plocamopherus but the six branched papillae are much longer when extended. There are four branched papillae down each side of the body and a slight ridge in between denotes the mantle edge. Body color ranges from pale yellow-orange to a deep orange-red, with white specks scattered. The branched papillae have translucent white stalks with some scattered opaque white pigmentation. Pointed branches are bright orange.
Feed on bryozoans (Ref. 79924).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
Members of the order Nudibranchia are simultaneous hermaphrodites. Mating behavior: Both individuals darts their penis toward each other to induce one to act as a male and the other as the female. The victorious one to penetrate the body wall is the dominant male. Life cycle: Eggs are deposited on a substratum where they develop and hatch into (planktonic) vestigial veliger larval stage and further grow as adults.
