Roboastra Tentaculata
''Roboastra tentaculata'' is a species of sea slug, a polycerid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. Distribution This species was described from Guam. Etymology ''Tentaculata'' is used to describe ''Roboastra tentaculata'' due to the presence of oral tentacles. Oral tentacles allow sea slugs to move and obtain information from the environment. Phylogeny In order for phylogenetic integrity, ''Roboastra tentaculata'' was moved into ''Roboastra'' from the genus ''Tambja''. Morphology The bulk of the sea slug body is green, along with bright yellow or orange stripes outlined with brown. Two green rhinophores with lamellae and rhinophoral cases are noticeable. This sea slug has green gills of two different sizes. Bright green oral tentacles are also found on the back of the organism, opposite of a straight green foot located on the bottom. Also present is a radula with smooth and large teeth. The digestive system is composed of salivary gland ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tyrannodoris Tigris
''Tyrannodoris tigris'' is a species of sea slug, a polycerid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae. It is a known predator of '' Tambje eliora'' and '' Tambje abdere'', two species of smaller nudibranchs. The chemical extracts of all three species contain tambjamines, which were traced to ''Sessibugula translucens'', a food source of these species. It is hypothesized that tambjamines are a chemical defence mechanism against feeding by the spotted kelpfish ''Gibbonsia elegans''.
