Scientific name: Phyllidiella

Phyllidiella is a genus of colorful sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, known for their striking patterns and vibrant hues. These invertebrates are a favorite among reef hobbyists for their ability to control certain types of nuisance algae and sponges. They are also appreciated for their contribution to the biodiversity and aesthetic appeal of a reef tank. However, they require specialized care, as they feed on specific sponges, and their dietary needs must be met to ensure their survival in captivity.
