	Hermissenda Opalescens ''Hermissenda opalescens'' is a species of brightly coloured sea slug or nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Facelinidae.Lindsay, T. & Valdés, Á. (2016''The Model Organism ''Hermissenda crassicornis'' (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) Is a Species Complex.''PLoS ONE 11(4): e0154265. This species is commonly known as the "opalescent sea slug." Distribution This nudibranch was described from San Diego, California, United States. It has been reported from Northern California, to Punta Eugenia, Mexico. Its distribution overlaps with ''Hermissenda crassicornis'' in Northern California and this latter species is found north to Alaska. These two species were routinely treated as a single species during the last 90 years.O'Donoghue, C. H. 1922.

picture info	Nudibranches And Sea Urchin 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. Distrib ...
