Family Phyllidiidae

The family Phyllidiidae is represented by 75 species in 6 genera. They are widely distributed in the tropical Indo-Pacific but some species occur in the tropical Atlantic and even in the Mediterranean. Little seems to be known about their feeding behavior but some species have been observed feeding on sponges. The phyllidiids differ from most other nudibranchs in that they lack a dorsal gill plume. Instead the gills are found ventrolaterally.
