Genus
Common name: Ceratosoma Nudibranch
Scientific name: Ceratosoma
Ceratosoma is a genus of colorful nudibranchs, or sea slugs, found in the Indo-Pacific region. These striking creatures are known for their elaborate appendages and vibrant hues, which can range from bright reds to deep purples. They are a popular subject for underwater photographers and can be a fascinating addition to a specialized reef aquarium. Ceratosoma species are known to feed on sponges, making them useful in controlling sponge growth in captive systems. However, they require expert care and a well-established tank with a steady supply of appropriate sponges to thrive.
