Navanax Inermis
''Navanax inermis'', common name the California aglaja, is a large species of predatory sea slug, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Aglajidae. ''Navanax'' is not a nudibranch, even though it somewhat resembles one; it belongs to a more ancient lineage of opisthobranchs called the cephalaspideans or head shield slugs and snails. Description The body of ''N. inermis'' can be tan, black, or purple, with yellowish streaks. Yellow or orange streaks and blue dots are visible on the margins. It has two large parapodial folds that run the length of either side of the body, and almost touch at the midsection. This species possesses a small internal shell. Individuals are typically between 2.5 and 10 inches in length. ''Navanax inermis'' does not possess a radula or organs associated with vision. Distribution and habitat This species occurs in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California. Its range is from Monterey, California to Baja California. ''Navanax ine ...

Janolus Flavoanulatus
''Janolus flavoanulatus'' is a sea slug species. The specific name is derived from Latin words flavus (“yellow”) and anulatus (“ringed”). These soft-bodied mollusks are known for their extraordinary colors and prominent forms. The first description of this species was reported by researcher Terry Gosliner, a leading researcher in the evolutionary history of nudibranchs. Upon his conducted research in the Philippines, Gosliner named ''Janolus flavoanulatus'' for its yellow ring around its cerata. Distribution The presence of this species has been found in regions of Indian and Western Pacific oceans, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Japan, Solomon Islands, Red Sea, Indonesia, Vanuatu, Indonesia, and Australia. Although the global population of ''J. flavoanulatus'' is unassigned, researchers are drawing observations that suggest these species are becoming scarce due to the decline in biodiversity.
