Tayuva lilacina is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae.[1] A number of species descriptions are considered to be synonyms.[2]
Distribution
This species was described from Honolulu, Oahu, Sandwich Islands. It has been reported widely in the Indo-Central Pacific and from the Pacific coast of Mexico and the Canary Islands. This wide distribution suggests that it is probably a species complex, but it has been considered to be an invasive species.[3]
Description
The maximum recorded body length is 50 mm[4] or up to 120 mm.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Ecology
Minimum recorded depth is 0.5 m.[4] Maximum recorded depth is 63 m.[4]
Tayuva lilacina feeds on Haliclona caerulea according to the in situ observations on the Pacific coast of Mexico.[5] It is probably highly specialized on this sponge.[5]
