Info
Marioniopsis levis Eliot, 1904
Marionia species are perfect camouflaged with many bushy gills of the body.
Marioniopsis levis is found living in association with, and feeding on, the encrusting soft coral Rhytisma fulvum. The nudibranch is well-camouflaged when on the surface of its prey as it is similar in colour, and the gill clusters resemble the polyps of the soft coral.
