Assumed maximum length from Ref. 844. Feeds on arborescent bryozoans of the genus Bugula that grow as part of the fouling community in ships' hulls (Ref. 844 and 822); and on Bugula neritina, which is epizootic on eelgrass in shallow estuaries (Ref. 866).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Members of the order Nudibranchia are simultaneous hermaphrodites. Mating behavior: Both individuals darts their penis toward each other to induce one to act as a male and the other as the female. The victorious one to penetrate the body wall is the dominant male. Life cycle: Eggs are deposited on a substratum where they develop and hatch into (planktonic) vestigial veliger larval stage and further grow as adults.
