Description

The Trinchesiidae family includes species that are known for their slender and elongated bodies, with long cerata that can be retracted into pockets on the body. They are adept at blending into their surroundings, making them hard to spot. These nudibranchs are found in both shallow and deep waters, feeding on a diet of hydroids and bryozoans.
