Scientific name: Gymnodorididae

Gymnodorididae is a family of colorful sea slugs known as nudibranchs, celebrated for their striking forms and hues. These marine gastropod mollusks are often found in reef environments and are popular in the aquarium trade for their aesthetic appeal. They play a role in controlling sponges and other sessile invertebrates. Nudibranchs from this family are not reef safe as they can consume corals and are best kept in species-specific setups with careful attention to their dietary needs.
