Looking for a fun and unique mug to show your love for nudis? These limited edition adorable ceramic mugs have NUDIBRANCHS on the handle - so cute!
Two Species Available:
- Spotted White Sea Slug (Chromodoris orientalis) - This species has been reported from Japan, Hong Kong and Korea. They, like other sea slugs, also have a foot which is their main source of locomotion, they use this muscular foot to crawl around on different surfaces in the ocean. Their mantle is thick and covers their foot and is used as a protection, as it secretes its toxins for chemical defense. It is unsure the exact size and weight these animals can grow to be.
- Anna's Magnificent Sea Slug (Chromodoris annae) - This species of nudibranch is found in the central area of the Indo-Pacific region from Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines to the Marshall Islands. Chromodoris annae can reach a maximum size of 5cm in length. Chromodoris annae has a diet that consists of only one group of sponge, known as Petrosaspongia sp. This nudibranch seeks out this group of sponge due to its noxious chemical composition. They are able to absorb this compound and store it in glands that stretch around the mantle. These stored chemicals are unpleasant to some surrounding fish, allowing Chromodoris annae to avoid predation.
