Distribution
This species was described from New South Wales, Australia. It has also been reported from Victoria, Tasmania and New Zealand.[3]
Description
This goniodorid nudibranch is translucent pale brown with a meshwork pattern of darker brown covering most of the body apart from some irregular patches around the gills and rhinophores and along the midline of the back. The lateral papillae, gills and rhinophores are mostly translucent pale brown, with some brown markings.[3]
Ecology
Trapania brunnea feeds on Entoprocta which often grow on sponges and other living substrata.[3]
gollark: Which is probably not that much worse than the real GPT-3.
gollark: Assuming they haven't trained their own model, which I'm fairly confident in, the most powerful thing they could be using is the 20-billion-parameter GPT-NeoX.
gollark: They don't actually specify what LM they use, weird.
gollark: Ah, not GPT-3 then but a vaguely similar thing, fascinating.
gollark: What? This is how I usually speak. Or write. Whatever.
