Scientific name: Aeolidiidae

Aeolidiidae, commonly known as Aeolid Nudibranchs, are a family of sea slugs characterized by their numerous cerata, finger-like appendages on their back. These cerata often contain stinging cells, or nematocysts, which they acquire from their prey, such as hydroids. Aeolidiidae are known for their bright colors and intricate patterns, making them a visually striking addition to the reef aquarium. However, they require specialized care, as they typically feed on specific cnidarians and may not adapt well to a general reef tank diet.
