Info

Onchidoris muricata (O. F. Müller, 1776)

Onchidoris muricata is a small North Atlantic sea slug.The body colour varies from white to cream-yellow.On the mantle are a lot oft spiculate tubercles. Onchidoris muricata feeds on bryozoan. The main diet seems to be Electra pilosa and Mebranipora membranacea.

Very similar is Adalaria proxima and Adalaria loveni..
