Aegiridae is a family of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, known for their striking colors and patterns. These marine gastropod mollusks are often found in reef environments and are appreciated by hobbyists for their unique appearance and behavior. They play a role in controlling certain pests, such as aiptasia, but require specialized care due to their specific dietary needs, often feeding exclusively on certain sponges or bryozoans.
