Ancula mapae
Ancula mapae is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae. DistributionThis species was first described from Victoria, Australia. DescriptionThis goniodorid nudibranch is translucent white in colour with brown patches or stripes composed of small brown spots interspersed with white pigment. The pre-rhinophoral papillae, extra-branchial papillae and tail have a band of yellow before the tip. There are two extra-branchial papillae which are strongly tapered to a point.[2] EcologyAncula mapae probably feeds on Entoprocta which often grow on hydroids, bryozoa and other living substrata.
