Corambe
''Corambe'' is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in family Corambidae within the superfamily Onchidoridoidea.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2016). Corambe Bergh, 1869. In: MolluscaBase (2016). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137839 on 2016-05-21 Species in this genus show a characteristic posterior notch in the notum (which is lacking in some taxa) and a characteristic gill morphology, especially the presence of ventral gills. Habitat These nudibranchs occur in littoral and sublittoral temperate waters of the northern and southern hemispheres. General description They are mostly small (between 5 and 10 mm) and rather hard to find because they are very well camouflaged. They prey on encrusting bryozoans. Species Species within the genus ''Corambe'' include: * ''Corambe burchi'' (Er. Marcus & Ev. Marcus, 1967) * ''Corambe carambola'' Er. Marcus, 1955 * ''Coramb ...

Crazed Nudibranch
The crazed nudibranch, ''Corambe'' sp., as designated by Gosliner, 1987, is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the superfamily Onchidoridoidea. It is also known as the moss animal nudibranch because its usual prey is a bryozoan, or moss animal. As at November 2009, it remained undescribed by science. Distribution This species is probably endemic to the South African coast and is found off the western shore of False Bay in 10–20 m of water. Description The crazed nudibranch is a very small (less than 10mm) round nudibranch, which is extremely well camouflaged to match the bryozoan it preys on. Its rhinophores and gills are hardly visible and its body is covered with opaque lines.Zsilavecz, G. (2007). ''Nudibranchs of the Cape Peninsula and False Bay''. Ecology The crazed nudibranch feeds on the rectangular membranous lace animal In Euclidean geometry, Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. ...
