Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple 18 year old guy and zoology student that posts random factoids about obscure animals and general animal science/zoology/biology stuff so if you like animals this is the place for you, if you only like cute animals this is not the place for you… I also like astronomy and some weirdos from youtube called the creatures so I’m prone to reblog stuff about that too. Also I track the 'astronomy-to-zoology' tag so yeah.
Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated
Order Doliolida: an order of thaliaceans found in tropical waters. Unlike their salp cousins doliolids have 8-9 bands of muscle lining their bodies, making them look similar to a barrel.

Family Dorididae
Sea Lemons
The family Dorididae is a group of dorid nudibranchs found in tropical waters worldwide. They get the name sea lemon due to several species which have bright yellow coloration and a shape which makes them look almost like a lemon, however not all species are yellow and can range in color from white to orange. Like all nudibranchs they have two rhinophores on the top of their head, these are used for chemoreception. Also like most nudibranchs the sea lemon feeds on sessile animals like sponges and cnidarians.
