Shag-rug Nudibranch
Aeolidia loui Kienberger, Carmona, Pola, Padula, Gosliner, & Cervera, 2016
Description 2
Ground color highly variable, most commonly white to brownish, but individuals which are dull grey, mauve, rose, or pink have been observed. The somewhat flattened cerata are broader near the base, & extend anterior of the rhinophores, and densely cover the dorsum except in the cardiac region; core of cerata usually brownish to mauve or umber, but quite variable. Area between oral tentacles and rhinophores with a triangular to crescentic patch of encrusting white to cream, which may be prolonged onto dorsal surface of oral tentacles; area of similar pigment occurs posterior of rhinophores and extends to cardiac region. The rhinophores are tuberculate, which readily distinguishes this species from Aeolidia papillosa.
Size 2
Typically about 20-30mm in length, but may exceed 100mm in length.
Geographic Range 2
Ogden Point, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, to San Diego, CA .
Notes 2
Recently described as separate species from Aeolidia papillosa; so the information on prey for A. loui has been published under the name A. papillosa. Preys on various species of sea anemones, such as (but not limited to): Anthopleura artemisia, Anthopleura elegantissima, Anthopleura xanthogrammica, Epiactis prolifera, Metridium senile, & Tealia crassicornis.
