Vayssierea Caledonica
''Vayssierea caledonica'' is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch in the gastropod family Okadaiidae. It is considered a close relative of all the species in the ''Vayssierea'' genus (''V. caledonica, V. felis'', '' V. cinnabarea'', and '' V. elegans).'' That entire genus however is sometimes referred to under one species name, '' V. felis''. Description When full grown this red-orange nudibranch is about in size.

''Vayssierea felis'' is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Okadaiidae. Description This red-orange nudibranch can grow up to 6mm in size.Rudman, W.B., 2000 (April 12) ''Vayssierea felis'' (Collingwood, 1881). '' nSea Slug Forum.'' Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet/vaysfelis It reproduces by direct development and lays an egg mass of 3-5 eggs. Range This species was originally named in the South China sea, however many argue that all ''Vayssierea'' are one species with a wider range that occurs in the Indo-West Pacific. It has also recently been documented in its non-native range in San Diego, CA.Sorensen, Kara, Brandon Swope, and Victoria Kirtay. ''Marine ecological index survey of San Diego Bay''.

Nudibranch
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. Distribut ...

Nudipleura
Nudipleura are a clade of sea snails and sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks within the large clade Heterobranchia. Taxonomy 2005 taxonomy In the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), the clade Nudipleura is arranged as follows: *Clade Nudipleura **Clade Pleurobranchomorpha **Clade Nudibranchia ***Clade Euctenidiacea ***Clade Dexiarchia ****Clade Pseudoeuctenidiacea ****Clade Cladobranchia *****Clade Euarminida *****Clade Dendronotida *****Clade Aeolidida 2010 taxonomy Jörger et al.

Euctenidiacea
The Euctenidiacea, common name dorid nudibranchs, are a taxonomic suborder of sea snails or slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the order Nudibranchia. Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) rejected the name Anthobranchia on the grounds that it also included ''Onchidium'' at the time of original publication. Doridina is equivalent and used in the latest classification.Bouchet P., Rocroi J.P., Hausdorf B., Kaim A., Kano Y., Nützel A., Parkhaev P., Schrödl M. & Strong E.E. (2017). Revised classification, nomenclator and typification of gastropod and monoplacophoran families. Malacologia. 61(1-2): 1-526. A morphological phylogenetic study, published in 2000, by Wägele & Willan showed that the subclade Gnathodoridacea (= Bathydoridoidea) and the subclade Doridacea (= Phanerobranchia + Cryptobranchia + Porostomata) each form a monophyletic group. In a later study, published in 2002, A. Valdés concluded that the superfamilies Doridoidea and Phyllidioidea (called by him Cryptobranchia + Poros ...

Mollusca
Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals after the Arthropoda, the members of which are known as molluscs or mollusks (). Around 85,000 extant species of molluscs are recognized. The number of fossil species is estimated between 60,000 and 100,000 additional species. The proportion of undescribed species is very high. Many taxa remain poorly studied. Molluscs are the largest marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all the named marine organisms. Numerous molluscs also live in freshwater and terrestrial habitats. They are highly diverse, not just in size and anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and habitat. The phylum is typically divided into 7 or 8 taxonomic classes, of which two are entirely extinct. Cephalopod molluscs, such as squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses, are among the most neurologically advanced of all invertebrates—and either the giant squid or the colossal squid is the largest known invertebrate species.
