Phestilla
''Phestilla'' is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trinchesiidae. Its members are unusual in feeding on hard corals, unlike other members of the family Trinchesiidae which feed on hydroids. Adult ''Phestilla'' have no cnidosac A cnidosac is an anatomical feature that is found in the group of sea slugs known as aeolid nudibranchs, a clade of marine opisthobranch gastropod molluscs. A cnidosac contains cnidocytes, stinging cells that are also known as cnidoblasts or n ...s. This genus has been investigated using DNA phylogeny and undescribed species exist.

Phestilla Minor
''Phestilla minor'' is a species of sea slug in the Trichechidae family. It is a type of aeolid nudibranch (Latin for naked gills) under the Aeolidina suborder. ''Phestilla minor'' is a benthic sea slug that is a very small, slow-moving organism found in marine habitats all over the world. ''Phestilla minor'' is one of over 2000 species of sea slugs. Description ''Phestilla minor'' is a small marine invertebrate that can grow to reach a maximum length of approximately 7mm. Physical characteristics The body is separated into three sections: the foot, head and visceral mass. Its foot has a flattened sole-like make-up that is used for moving over substrates. ''Phestilla minor'' has a swollen distal tip and one swollen collar region below the tip. This species is coloured to blend in with its surroundings, only found to be in one colour form, with very minimal pigmentation which allows it to camouflage into its environment, particularly the colour of the coral colony.

Phestilla Viei
''Phestilla viei'' is a species of coral-feeding sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, from the family Trinchesiidae, described in 2020. It has been identified as a sister species of ''Phestilla fuscostriata'' based on DNA barcoding using the COI gene. The genus ''Phestilla'' currently includes nine recognized species, eight of which are obligate corallivores, with each particular species predating on only one species or genus of coral. Its distribution is restricted to the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Background Nudibranchs, an order of opistobranchs or sea slugs, are a diverse group of marine gastropods known for their bright coloration and unique morphologies. Present in all oceans worldwide, they typically occur in shallow, coastal waters. True to their name, nudus meaning “naked” in Latin and βράγχια (bránkhia) meaning “gills” in Ancient Greek, this group of sea slugs is characterized by its exposed gills. Nudibranchs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
