Felimare olgae is a species of very colourful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. [2]
Felimare olgae has a golden-brown body covered in blue and black spots. The mantle is pale yellow. The gills are pale yellow outlined with dark-blue and the rhinophores are pale-yellow, tipped with dark blue. [4] This species can reach a total length of at least 35 mm (1.4 in) and has been observed feeding on the blue sponge Dysidea etheria . [3]
Chromodorididae, or chromodorids, are a taxonomic family of colourful, sea slugs; dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea. “Chromodorid nudibranchs are among the most gorgeously coloured of all animals.” The over 360 described species are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters, as members of coral reef communities, specifically associated with their sponge prey. The chromodorids are the most speciose family of opisthobranchs. They range in size from <10mm to over 30 cm, although most species are approximately 15–30 mm in size.
Felimare picta is a species of colourful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. Atlantic Ocean species of Hypselodoris were all transferred to Felimare following a DNA phylogeny.
Hypselodoris is a genus of colourful sea slugs or dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae. Modern usage follows a more restricted view of which species belong in this genus so there are numerous genus transfers.
