Trapania goslineri is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae. [2]
This species was first described from Bahia de los Angeles, Baja California, Mexico.
The length of the body attains 8 mm. This goniodorid nudibranch is white in colour, with oval black spots and a median black stripe on the body. The tips of the rhinophores, gills, lateral papillae, oral tentacles and tail are golden orange. Trapania darwini has a similar pattern of colour except that the brown patches have white spots within them. [3]
Trapania goslineri probably feeds on Entoprocta which often grow on sponges and other living substrata.
