Facelina annulicornis is a species of sea slugs, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Facelinidae. [2]
This species has been reported from County Donegal, Ireland south to Portugal and the Mediterranean Sea. [3]
Facelina annulicornis is a predator of the hydroid Halecium halecium and probably other hydroids and possibly other aeolid nudibranchs. [4]
Nudibranchs are a group of soft-bodied marine gastropod molluscs that shed their shells after their larval stage. They are noted for their often extraordinary colours and striking forms, and they have been given colourful nicknames to match, such as "clown", "marigold", "splendid", "dancer", "dragon", and "sea rabbit". Currently, about 3,000 valid species of nudibranchs are known.
