About Armina californica (J.G.Cooper, 1863)
Armina californica (J.G.Cooper, 1863) is a species of sea slug, specifically a nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusk that belongs to the family Arminidae. This species is found in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, ranging from Vancouver Island to Panama. It is commonly found in soft-bottom habitats at depths between 1 and 230 meters. Armina californica is marked by longitudinal ridges that come in varying colors, including light pink, cream, and brown. It can be distinguished from larger species in the Armina genus by three features: separated rhinophores, rachidian teeth with 8 to 13 elongated denticles, and lateral teeth with 7 to 9 triangular denticles.
