Goniobranchus coi is a species of very colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. [2] [3]
This species was described from Vietnam. It occurs in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean from Australia to the Philippines [4] and rarely as far East as the Marshall Islands. [5]
Goniobranchus coi has a white body and foot, but is instantly recognizable by its distinct dorsal pattern. The outer part of the mantle is yellow, separated from the inner light-brown part by a wavy white and black line. The outer edge of the mantle is brown, with a thin purple line at the margin. The gills and rhinophores range in colour between different individuals from translucent white, through pale-yellow and light-brown. This species reaches at least 50 mm in length. [6] [7] [8]
Like most sea slugs in the superfamily Doridoidea , Goniobranchus coi feeds on sponges. It has been seen feeding on the sponge Chelonaplysilla violacea . [9] [5]
