| Cadlina japonica | |
Cadlina japonica is a species of sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cadlinidae. [2]
This species was described from Sagami Bay, Japan. It is reported from Korea. [3]
Cadlina japonica is a broad Cadlina with the mantle fluted at the edge and bordered with a fine yellow line. The slightly translucent white mantle is covered with tubercles of two sizes, larger ones separated evenly by smaller. There are small yellow glands embedded in the mantle, clustered behind the rhinophores and towards the edges. Between the tubercles there is a wash of brown pigment. The rhinophores have translucent white shafts, pale brown lamellae and yellow tips. The rhinophore pockets and gills are edged with fine yellow spots. [4]
Cadlina luteomarginata, common name the yellow-edged cadlina, is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cadlinidae.
Phyllidia ocellata is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Phyllidiidae.
Cadlina flavomaculata, common name the yellow-spot cadlina, is a species of colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cadlinidae.
Halgerda carlsoni is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae.
Chromodoris orientalis is a species of colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. Sea slugs are generally very beautifully colored organisms with intense patterns and ranging in sizes. The Chromodoris orientalis specifically is a white sea slug with black spots in no particular pattern with a yellow, orange, or brown in color ring around its whole body and on its gills. There is much discussion on where it is found, what it eats, how it defends itself without a shell, and its reproduction methods. This is all sought after information because there is not much known about these animals.
