Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [818876<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Description
\n<\/strong>Adult animals of this recently\u00a0described species measure between 8 and 13 mm in length. The\u00a0body is narrow and has a long, pointed\u00a0tail when the animal is moving. The general body color is pink or bluish-pink. The oral tentacles and rhinophores have approximately the same size and are of the same color of the body, but with whitish tips\u00a0because on many white granulations on this part. The rhinophores are smooth. The eyes are barely visible in the rear base of the rhinophores. Depending on the size of the specimens there are 7 to 9 groups of cerata where each may have from 13 cerata\u00a0in the first group to only 1 in the last one. The cerata\u00a0from each group come from a common base or stalk, as in some species of Flabellina<\/em>. The cerata\u00a0are cylindrical, relatively long and with a pointed tip; they are semitransparent and have the same coloration of the\u00a0body but the more or less dark brown digestive gland can be observed inside, filling most of the cerata. The subapical area of the cerata usually have small white spots or scores\u00a0and the tip\u00a0is whitish, where the cnidosac can be observed. The foot is narrow and two short, triangular propodials tentacles can be observed in its anterior side. The gonopore is located right under the first group of cerata\u00a0while the anus is dorsal (acleioproctal position).<\/p>\n

Biology
\n<\/strong>So far this species has been found living under rocks in the intertidal ponds or in the subtidal stratum in rock walls with an abundance of algae and hydroids, on which it may feed. Nothing else is known about his spawn nor other details of its\u00a0biology.<\/p>\n
