Doriprismatica sedna is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. [1]

Contents

Taxonomy

This species was previously placed in the genus Glossodoris Ehrenberg, 1831, but it was transferred to genus Doriprismatica by Johnson & Gosliner in 2012 on the basis of molecular results. [2] [3]

Distribution

Originally described from the Eastern Pacific, records from the Caribbean are considered the result of a recent introduction, presumably human-introduced. [3] The indigenous distribution of Doriprismatica sedna includes Eastern Pacific: from the Gulf of California to the Galapagos Islands and non-indigenous in the Western Atlantic: Florida, Belize, Bahamas [4] and Panama. [3] [5]

Description

Doriprismatica sedna

The body is oval and the mantle margin is ruffled. [3] The foot and mantle of this seaslug have three different colours at the border: white, red and yellow on the outer border. [6] [7] Background colour is white with two coloured bands (inner red and outer yellow) bordering the foot and mantle. [8] [9] [10] [3] Upper half of the rhinophoral clubs and tips of the branchial leaves of the gill are red. [3] [6] It is up to 65 mm long. [3] [11] [12]

Habitat

This species was found on mangrove roots covered with sponges in Panama. [3] The minimum recorded depth for this species is 1 m; maximum recorded depth is 29 m. [12]

Prey of Doriprismatica sedna include demosponge Myxilla incrustans. Myxilla incrustans.jpg

The diet of Doriprismatica sedna was studied by Verdín Padilla et al. (2010) [13] on the Pacific coast of Mexico. [3] By examining the stomach content and feces, they found that this species feeds exclusively on spiculated demosponges and exhibits a variable diet, which includes 17 different species: [3] Mycale psila , Microciona sp., Myxilla incrustans , Lissodendoryx isodictialis , Haliclona caerulea , Haliclona turquoisia , Callyspongia californica , Cliona californiana , Cliona amplicavata , Cliona flavifodina , Cliona papillae , Pione mazatlanensis , Pione carpenteri , Tethya taboga , Aaptos niger , Geodia media and Dysidea uriae .
