Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [1723425<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Description
\n<\/strong>Body small, up to 5 mm in length, high and elongate. There are three color morphs reported from the type location: some specimens are bright yellow with orange tips of rhinophores, gills and tail, other specimens were white with yellow tips of rhinophores, gills and tail, while the third group show a yellowish transparent base colouration and the tips of external organs and tail may have, or not, orange or yellow tips. Mantle\u00a0 is covered by long spicules of different sizes and with bulges along them. There is a well-developed notal border with five lateral papillae, symmetrically distributed on each side of body. Two papillae are located ahead of rhinophores, two behind the gills and the remaining three grow on each side of the body between rhinophores and gills. Papillae are cylindrical, long and narrow, increasingly longer and wider to the rear side of the animal. A single median papilla grows in the middle of the dorsum, on the end of a mid-dorsal ridge that extends ahead to the rhinophores. Rhinophores are elongated and slender, bearing between 7 and 9 lamellae at the back and sides of the rhinophores, but not at their front side. Tips of rhinophores lack any lamellae. Gills are formed by 4 unipinnate leaves surroundind the anus, the two anteriormost grow from a common stalk; their shape and length are similar to those of papillae. The foot is long and slender. Two relatively short oral tentacles are located in both sides of mouth. Gonopore is located on right side of body.<\/p>\n

Biology
\n<\/strong>Although its diet is unknown, it can be assumed that this species feeds on small bryozoans like the other species of the genus Goniodoridella<\/em>. Lombardo & Marletta (2024) report this species on the bryozoan Nolella<\/em> sp. No further details of its biology are known.<\/p>\n
