Ceratosoma Tenue
is a species of colourful dorid nudibranch, a sea slug, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. Distribution This sea slug is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area, from the oriental African coast to Hawaii. Description ''Ceratosoma tenue'' can grow to a maximal size of length. The body colouration is extremely variable but is always composed of bright colours. However, the body colouration is not a valuable criterion of determination for this species because it can easily be confused with ''Ceratosoma tribolatum''. The physical distinctive criteria are three mantle lobes on the first half of the body on each side and the purple margin of the mantle and foot is a dotted line. Another specificity of many species of ''Ceratosoma'' is the kind of "horn" covering the gills, which is like a lure and acts as a defensive chemical weapon that will scare any potential predator who dares to bite this part. The gills and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chromodorididae
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. Although, they have a worldwide distribution, most species are found in the region.
