About Edmundsella pedata (Montagu, 1816)
Edmundsella pedata is a species that has distinctive pink-purple coloration covering its entire body. Mediterranean specimens can grow to around 20 millimeters in length, while individuals from the Atlantic Ocean may reach up to 50 millimeters long. Its cerata have white rings at their tips, grow in bunches, and are joined together at their bases. The extremities of the body are opaque white, and the digestive gland is normally red. This species is distributed as far north as Trøndelag, Norway, occurs around all of the British Isles, and extends south into the Mediterranean. Although it is a common species, it is rarely found in large numbers. It typically lives alone or in pairs in sublittoral areas, on hard substrates such as moderately exposed rocky surfaces.
