Okenia cochimi |
Okenia cochimi is a species of sea slug, specifically a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae. [2]
This species was described from Isla Espíritu Santo, Baja California Sur with an additional specimen from Isla Cedros on the Pacific Ocean coast of Baja California. [1] It has subsequently been reported as far south as the Islas Revillagigedos. [3]
This Okenia has a narrow body and five to eight pairs of lateral papillae. The body is translucent yellow with more opaque yellow pigment on the papillae, rhinophores and gills. [4]
The diet of this species is probably an encrusting bryozoan.
