Genus

Common name: Goniobranchus

Scientific name: Goniobranchus

Goniobranchus is a genus of colorful sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, known for their striking patterns and hues. These invertebrates are popular in the marine aquarium hobby for their aesthetic appeal and their role in controlling certain types of unwanted algae and cyanobacteria. They are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of tank mates. However, they require specific diets, often feeding on particular sponges or bryozoans, which can make them challenging to keep in captivity. Hobbyists must ensure their dietary needs are met for them to thrive.
