Triopha Slug [Triopha]

Description

The genus Triopha includes a group of nudibranchs that display a wide range of colors and patterns. These slugs are distinguished by their relatively large size and the presence of prominent tubercles on their dorsum. Triopha species are found in both temperate and tropical waters, often on rocky reefs where they feed on bryozoans and other small invertebrates. Their bright colors and patterns are thought to serve as warnings to potential predators about their toxicity.
