Description
Eubranchus (family Eubranchidae) is an accepted genus name for small aeolid nudibranchs; it was long used for a large group of tiny species, some of which feed on hydroids (for example E. rustyus on Plumularia and Obelia). According to Wikipedia, Korshunova et al. (2025) restricted Eubranchus to its type species only, Eubranchus tricolor Forbes, 1838, an Atlantic species, and moved many former members to other genera. Mediterranean animals identified as E. tricolor are not conspecific with Atlantic ones and are listed as E. cf. tricolor.
