Ceratosoma Trilobatum
''Ceratosoma trilobatum'' is a species of colorful dorid nudibranch, a sea slug, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. Distribution This sea slug was described from India. It is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area, from the oriental African coast to Japan, Red Sea included.Bidgrain, P., 2019''Ceratosoma tenue''Sea Slugs of the Indian Ocean, accessed 2019-01-30. Description ''Ceratosoma trilobatum'' can grow to a maximal size of 15 cm length. The body colouration is extremely variable but is always composed of bright colors. However, the body colouration is not a valuable criterion of determination for this species because it can easily be confused with ''Ceratosoma tenue''. The physical distinctive criteria are two mantle lobes on the first half of the body on each side. The first one is around the head part and the second one is close to the gills. The purple margin of the mantle and foot is an unbroken line. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
