Berghia Ghanensis
''Berghia'' is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs. They are shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Aeolidiidae.Gofas, S. (2014) ''Berghia'' Trinchese, 1877.Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species on 2015-02-23. They are covered in cerata which give them their unique tentacle look and color. ''Berghia'' are commonly found in shallow waters and their diet consists of strictly ''Aiptasia'' Anemone. This genus is now commonly used commercially to fight off Anemone populations in fish tanks. Life-History The validity of the genus Berghia has been contested for years since its discovery in 1877. It has been questioned mostly due to their phenotypic similarities to the genus ''Spurilla'' despite having unique colorations. The monophyly of ''Berghia'' started to be highly supported after the addition of ''B. stephanieae'' and results were starting to show that ''Spurilla'' and ''Berghia'' were not as closely related as researchers once thought.

Nudibranch
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.Ocean Portal (2017)A Collage of Nudibranch Colors Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Retrieved 17 April 2018. The word "nudibranch" comes from the Latin "naked" and the Ancient Greek () "gills". Nudibranchs are often casually called sea slugs, as they are a family of opistobranchs (sea slugs), within the phylum Mollusca (molluscs), but many sea slugs belong to several taxonomic groups which are not closely related to nudibranchs. A number of these other sea slugs, such as the photosynthetic ''Sacoglossa'' and the colourful Aglajidae, are often confused with nudibranchs. Distribut ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...
