Aeolidiidae [Aeolidiidae]

Description

The Aeolidiidae family consists of nudibranchs known for their often brightly colored bodies and cerata, which are finger-like appendages used for respiration and sometimes for defense. Members of this family feed primarily on cnidarians, such as sea anemones and corals, and are capable of storing the cnidarian's stinging cells (nematocysts) within their own tissues for protection.
