Acanthodoris lutea, the orange-peel doris, is a species of nudibranch or sea slug, a shell-less marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Onchidorididae. [2] This species is the largest of the northeastern Pacific onchidorids. [3] It is a common species, and it is very noticeable because of its bright coloration, which is aposematic.
A nudibranch Acanthodoris lutea is shown here laying an egg ribbon, in a tide pool in California. Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites, and therefore all adults are capable of laying eggs. This species is commonly known as the "orange peel doris" because of its striking coloration, which is an example of aposematism. The bright orange color serves as ...
Tochuina gigantea, common name the giant orange tochui, is a species of sea slug, a tritonid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Tritoniidae.

The polyphenols in orange peel contribute to the survivability of probiotic organisms through the digestive tract, including Lactobacillus spp, one of the most helpful types of probiotics.
The greatest diversity of nudibranchs is seen in warm, shallow reefs, although one nudibranch species was discovered at a depth near 2,500 m (8,200 ft). [10] This nudibranch, described in 2024 as Bathydevius , is the only known nudibranch with a bathypelagic lifestyle and is one of the very few to be bioluminescent .
Finally, in the animals of 20–25 mm, the cross-linked orange peel becomes more apparent and the white tubercles in the anterior half form a cross on the head whose long arm stretches between the two rhinophores. The head is as wide as the region of the gill and the appearance of the animal is more robust to slender, with the sides of the body ...
Godiva quadricolor is a slender pale-bodied nudibranch with many cerata striped in bands of blue, yellow and orange. Its head is orange with rugose orange rhinophores and has a pair of orange oral tentacles with a white central stripe.
