Aeolidiella glauca is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch in the family Aeolidiidae. [2]
The body of this nudibranch attains a length of 45 mm. It is orange-brown in colour with extensive fawn or light brown surface pigment both on the dorsum and in a rim around the edge of the foot. The cerata are covered with dense flecks of fawn-coloured pigment. The outer half of the oral tentacles and rhinophores are similarly pigmented. [3] [4]
The body is the host of the ectoparasitic copepods Doridicola agilis Leydig, 1853 and Splanchnotrophus angulatus Hecht, 1893.
This species was described from Berry Head, Torbay, England. [5] It has subsequently been reported from Norway, Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, and the Atlantic coast of France south to Arcachon Bay. [6]
