Description Nudibranchs are gastropod molluscs
belonging to suborder Opisthobranchia.
They are easily identified based on their
shell-less bodies and a pair of rhinophores
(tentacles) on the dorsal side of the
head. These organisms are stunningly
colourful, hence are often called ‘butterflies
of the ocean’. About 3000 species
of Nudibranchs are known globally1, and
311 species have been reported from
India2. Tenellia adspersa is a tiny nudibranch,
commonly known as lagoon sea
slug or miniature aeolis.
