Common name: Aegires Nudibranchs

Scientific name: Aegires

Aegires is a genus of sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, known for their distinctive protrusions and coloration which often mimic their surroundings. These small, slow-moving gastropods are found in various reef environments and are appreciated by hobbyists for their unique appearance. They feed on sponges and detritus, making them a natural choice for a reef tank with a mature biological filter. However, they require specialized care and stable water conditions to thrive.
