Doriprismatica sedna is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.[1]
Taxonomy[]
This species was previously placed in the genus Glossodoris Ehrenberg, 1831, but it was transferred to genus Doriprismatica by Johnson & Gosliner in 2012 on the basis of molecular results.[2][3]
Distribution[]
Originally described from the Eastern Pacific, records from the Caribbean are considered the result of a recent introduction, presumably human-introduced.[3] The indigenous distribution of Doriprismatica sedna includes Eastern Pacific: from the Gulf of California to the Galapagos Islands and non-indigenous in Western Atlantic: Florida, Belize, Bahamas[4] and Panama.[3][5]
Description[]

The body is oval and the mantle margin is ruffled.[3] The foot and mantle of this seaslug have three different colours at the border: white, red and yellow on the outer border.[6][7] Background colour is white with two coloured bands (inner red and outer yellow) bordering the foot and mantle.[8][9][10][3] Upper half of the rhinophoral clubs and tips of the branchial leaves of the gill are red.[3][6] It is up to 65 mm long.[3][11][12]
Habitat[]
This species was found on mangrove roots covered with sponges in Panama.[3] The minimum recorded depth for this species is 1 m; maximum recorded depth is 29 m.[12]

The diet of Doriprismatica sedna was studied by Verdín Padilla et al. (2010)[13] on the Pacific coast of Mexico.[3] By examining the stomach content and feces, they found that this species feeds exclusively on spiculated demosponges and exhibits a variable diet, which includes 17 different species:[3] , sp., Myxilla incrustans, , Haliclona caerulea, , , Cliona californiana, , , , , , , Aaptos niger, and .[13][14]
