Goniodoris felis is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae.[2]
Distribution[]
This species was first described from Japan. It also occurs in Hong Kong and South Korea.[3]
Description[]
This goniodorid nudibranch is translucent pink in colour, with large areas of white surface pigment on the oral tentacles, along the pallial margin and back and sides of the body.
Ecology[]
Goniodoris felis probably feeds on bryozoans or colonial ascidians but the diet is apparently not yet determined.[3]
