Tayuva lilacina is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae. [2] A number of species descriptions are considered to be synonyms. [4]

Contents

Distribution

This species was described from Honolulu, Oahu, Sandwich Islands. It has been reported widely in the Indo-Central Pacific and from the Pacific coast of Mexico and the Canary Islands. This wide distribution suggests that it is probably a species complex, but it has been considered to be an invasive species. [5]

Description

The maximum recorded body length is 50 mm [6] or up to 120 mm.[ citation needed ]

Ecology

Minimum recorded depth is 0.5 m. [6] Maximum recorded depth is 63 m. [6]

Tayuva lilacina feeds on Haliclona caerulea according to the in situ observations on the Pacific coast of Mexico. [7] It is probably highly specialized on this sponge. [7]

Nudibranchs belong to the order Nudibranchia, 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.
