Phyllidiidae, commonly known as Phyllidiid Nudibranchs, are a family of colorful sea slugs known for their striking patterns and vibrant colors. They are often found in tropical and subtropical reefs around the world. These nudibranchs are not suitable for most reef aquariums due to their specialized dietary needs, typically feeding on sponges that are difficult to provide in captivity. Additionally, they can release toxic substances when stressed, which can harm other tank inhabitants.
