Genus
Common name: Platydoris
Scientific name: Platydoris
Platydoris is a genus of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, which are marine gastropod mollusks. Members of this genus are known for their flat and oval body shape with a soft, often vibrantly colored mantle. They are found in various reef environments and are appreciated by hobbyists for their unique appearance. Platydoris species are not common in the aquarium trade but can be fascinating additions to a well-established reef tank with stable water conditions and a supply of sponges, their natural diet.
