Melibe
''Melibe'' is a genus of sea slugs, nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tethydidae. Most nudibranchs are carnivores, but their prey is usually sessile or slow-moving animals such as sponges or bryozoans. In contrast, ''Melibe'' is an active predator which traps fast-moving free-swimming animals such as small crustaceans, using its extendable oral hood Species Species within the genus ''Melibe'' include 17 valid species: ''Species inquirenda In biological classification, a ''species inquirenda'' is a species of doubtful identity requiring further investigation.

Melibe Colemani
''Melibe colemani'', also known as the Coleman's melibe, ghost nudi, or ghost melibe, is a species of nudibranch in the family Tethydidae. Discovered by Neville Coleman in 2008 off the coast of the island of Mabul in Malaysia, it was formally described by Marta Pola and Terrence Gosliner in 2012 and named in honour of its discoverer. It is found throughout the Coral Triangle region of Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Due to its translucent body and network of brown tubules across its body, its appearance has been described as a "pile of strings" or a "string of snot in the water". This appearance is likely to serve as camouflage, resembling oceanic debris. Its strange appearance has led some to dub it "the holy grail of nudibranchs". Taxonomy ''Melibe colemani'' was first discovered in 2008 by Neville Coleman, who published a photograph of ''M. colemani'' in his book ''Nudibranchs Encyclopedia''. The type locality was by the island of Mabul, Malaysia. Specifically "be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
