Embletonia gracilis is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch shell-less mollusk in the family Embletoniidae. [1]
Embletonia gracilis is translucent white, and has been described to be less than 8mm, but can grow to be 20-30mm in length. They have an elongated shape and a single row of cerata, which divide into four parts at the tip, containing nematocysts. They do not have oral tentacles and instead, flat oral lobes next to the mouth. Several studies suggest that they eat hydroids.
The species has a large distribution across the West Indo-Pacific. [2]
Elysia is a genus of sea slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Plakobranchidae. These animals are colorful sea slugs, and they can superficially resemble nudibranchs, but are not very closely related to them. Instead they are sacoglossans, commonly known as sap-sucking slugs.

Vayssierea caledonica is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch in the gastropod family Okadaiidae. It is considered a close relative of all the species in the Vayssierea genus. That entire genus however is sometimes referred to under one species name, V. felis.
Thuridilla vataae is a species of sacoglossan sea slug, a shell-less marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the family Plakobranchidae. It is native to the tropical Indo-Pacific. It was first described by the French zoologist Jean Risbec in 1928; its specific name refers to the Bay of Anse Vata, just south of Nouméa, New Caledonia, where the type specimen was collected.
