Description
Goniobranchus (Pease, 1866) is an accepted genus of dorid nudibranchs in the family Chromodorididae. It was long treated as a synonym of Chromodoris and was brought back into use in 2012 for a clade revealed by DNA studies. It includes dozens of colourful species known from the Indo-West Pacific, including the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea (for example G. geminus and G. reticulatus). Like other chromodorids, they feed on sponges.
