Info

Flabellina cavolini (Vérany, 1846)

The name "cavolini" in honor of Filippo Cavolini (1756-1810), who was a rich merchant and one of the earliest marine zoologists.

Flabellina cavolini is a small aeolid (sea slug), with a maximum length of 12mm. It has smooth elongate rhinophores, oral tentacles, and angular anterior foot corners. It was reported that it feeds on Halecium pusillum, Eudendrium racemosum and on the gorgonian Paramuricea clavata.

Flabellina cavolini is found in the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, near Europe; mainly Spain and Portugal.
