Felimare agassizii is a species of sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. [3] [2] [4]
This nudibranch is known from the Eastern Pacific Ocean from the Galapagos Islands to Mexico. [5] [6]
Felimare agassizii has a black body flecked all over with yellow spots. The upper dorsum has a series of larger white spots running longitudinally. The mantle is edged with a green-yellow-green band, its gills are a translucent gold colour tipped with black and its rhinophores are black. This species can reach a total length of at least 100 mm. [3] [7] [8]
The diet of Felimare agassizii was studied by Verdín Padilla et al. (2010) [9] on the Pacific coast of Mexico. By examining the stomach content and feces, they found that this species feeds on demosponges and exhibits diet of nine species: Mycale psila , Mycale sp., Haliclona caerulea , Cliona californiana , Cliona papillae , Pione mazatlanensis , Tethya taboga , Geodia media and Dysidea uriae .
