Short description Morphology

Has a uniform translucent orange color, with a large circlet of bushy gills (Ref. 79924). Mantle is semi-transparent with wrinkles. Rhinophores usually short, and gills are pinnate, forming a complete ring at the central posterior (Ref. 125532).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected in 2 to 3 m of water (Ref. 866). Feed on other nudibranchs, grasping the mantle edge close to the prey's gill region, then inserting the buccal tube, sucking out its internal organs (Ref. 125532).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

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.
