It wasn’t until 1959 that the first living juliid was discovered. Kawaguti and Baba found a species in Tamano, Japan, and called it Tamanovalva limax. It was indisputably a gastropod – and it had two shells. 😮 This is now called Berthelinia limax. (That’s enough taxonomy.) (6/9)

Disco Doris (Gargamella rosi) No taxonomy update has devastated me more than this one. This 70s slug will always be a disco dorid in my heart 💖😭😭😭

#seaslug #nudibranch #marine #gastropod-taxonomy
An orange dorid nudibranch with white ring patterns looks back at the camera (or turns the front of its body back towards the camera). A pretty good picture of a very small sea slug if I do say so myself. An orange dorid nudibranch with white ring patterns crawls up the side of a rock (adorably). A slightly scrunched dorid nudibranch crawls over some pink corraline algae. This is a different slug, with more uniform rings and some white splotches.

Warm Theodore sounds like a band that used to tour with Hum and frequently upstaged them, but broke up because their singer wanted to study marine biology and has recently developed a more accurate taxonomy for a sea creature we one classified as a gastropod
