Description

Cuthona is a genus of small, often brightly colored sea slugs or nudibranchs, within the family Tergipedidae. These marine gastropod mollusks are characterized by their delicate bodies and often intricate color patterns. They are found in various marine environments across the world, from shallow reefs to deeper waters. Members of this genus feed on hydroids, bryozoans, and other small sessile organisms. They exhibit a wide range of body shapes and sizes, typically with elongated cerata (finger-like protrusions) that can be used for defense.
