Nudibranchia

Indonesia marine biological wealth are known to be diverse, one of which is marine invertebrates. Marine invertebrates in the food chain system are herbivores, predators and biota dominant determinant of the food pyramid system. Different types of marine invertebrates that are often found in coastal areas one Nudibranchia

Nudibranchia is a member of what is now a taxonomic clade, not fish. nudibranch sea slug is often called the greatest of the order Opisthobranchia. Members of more than 3,000 species.
