Vayssierea cinnabarea is a species of minute sea slug, a dorid nudibranch in the gastropod family Okadaiidae. [2]
This species occurs in New Zealand.
This species feeds on Spirorbis tube worms.
Although Vayssierea cinnabarea is accepted as a separate species by many individuals, there are some that argue that all Veyssierea should be under one species name, V. felis. [3]
Nudibranchs are a group of soft-bodied marine gastropod molluscs which 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", or "sea rabbit". Currently, about 3,000 valid species of nudibranchs are known.
