Family CHROMODORIDIDAE Bergh, 1891

Introduction

A very diverse group of genera and numerous species world-wide, mostly found in tropical and warm temperate shallow seas. All are sponge feeders, some very exclusively so. Includes some of the most strikingly patterned and coloured nudibranchs, as well as some very drab and uniformly coloured species. Most species are oval in outline, soft, smooth and glossy, a few are elongate and high, quite solid, and ornamented with large papillae and ridges. Compiled from Burn (in press).

Introduction

Goniobranchus preciosus (Kelaart, 1858) may not occur in Australia. Soong et al. (2022) cite several misidentifications of this species attributed to Rudman (1985) and Gosliner et al. (2008), and referred records of G. preciosus from the western Pacific to the new species Goniobranchus fabulus Soong & Gosliner, 2022. While it seems likely that records of G. preciosus from QLD are probably of G. fabulus, Soong & Gosliner (2022) did not examine specimens from Australia and it is possible that those from NT represent G. preciosus. We retain the species until further study of specimens can be conducted.
