Navanax [Navanax]

Description

Navanax is a genus of predatory sea slugs found within the family Aglajidae, characterized by their colorful appearance and a voracious appetite for other gastropods and small marine organisms. These slugs are distinguished by their large size compared to other aglajids and their active hunting behavior. They are often seen in the open during the day, unlike many of their more cryptic relatives. Navanax species play a significant role in controlling the population of other small marine invertebrates.
