Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [181225<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Description
\n<\/strong>Body coloured translucent white with black or dark brown irregularly dispersed flecks, that may be concentrated in different areas forming dark patches. This colour scheme is also present on the head, dorsum, flanks, tail, base of the oral tentacles, the foot corners and on all body processes and external organs. Rhinophores have 6-9 lamellae. Gill composed by three tripinnate gill leaves, the one in the middle the largest. Both rhinophores and gill are protected by lateral processes with a similar length<\/span>, typical of the genus <\/span>Trapania<\/em>. The oral tentacles are relatively long. The anterior foot margin is extended laterally into tentacular foot corners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biology
\n<\/strong>This species is very rare (or very cryptic) and has only been found once, on Bugula neritina<\/em> bryozoans, despite it is probably not its food source. Trapania<\/em> genus is known for feeding on entoprocta, small creatures that live on sponges.<\/p>\n
