Yellow Umbrella Slug [Tylodina]

Description

Tylodina is a genus of medium-sized to large sea snails or limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tylodinidae. These snails are characterized by their unique umbrella-like shape, bright yellow coloration, and preference for living in shallow, warm waters. They feed primarily on sponges and are known for their peculiar mating behavior, which involves complex courtship rituals. Their shell is reduced and often covered by the mantle, which makes them resemble nudibranchs, although they are not closely related.
