My school project on Chromodoris annae

February 22, 2000
From: B. Friedman

Hello,
I am a 7th grade student and I am doing a project on the Sea Slug. I picked the Chromodoris annae. I have been having trouble finding information on it. I need to find out about its
Physical Charactoristics
Its connection to the food web
Social grouping
Environment
Health
It would be a big help if you could send me some general information or another website where I can get more information.
Thank you.

Dear B. Friedman,
I am surprised you picked this species, which is found in the tropical western Pacific. We know very little about its biology and natural history other than it is almost certainly a specialist feeder on one or two species of sponge. I have put your message on the Chromodoris annae Page so look above and below you message for photos and messages we have on this species.

The family of nudibranchs it belongs to, the Chromodorididae, are very interesting because they have very toxic chemicals in their skin to defend themselves from fish attack. Their bright colours warn fish of their nasty taste. Have a look at the pages on Colour Patterns & Defence, defensive glands, Mimicry and go to the Species List and look at some of the species listed under the family Chromodorididae to get an idea of the variety of shape and colour amongst the relatives of Chromodoris annae.

Good luck with your project.
Bill Rudman.
