Thuridilla gracilis (Risbec, 1928)
Thuridilla gracilis is a sea slug in the family Elysiidae, which is characterized by two flaps that merge on the back to form a ridge.
Like other representatives of the genus it is not well known which algae species they feed on.
Thuridilla species are quite often found as hitchhikers on live rock - but in how far they can be kept for a longer period this will depend on the coincidental presence of their preferred food items and is more a gamble than anything else.
