Bathydevius (Greek for "deep-living deviation") is a monotypic genus of unusual, highly distinctive nudibranch native to deep waters of the North Pacific Ocean.It contains a single species, B. caudactylus ("finger tail"), and is the only known member of the monotypic family Bathydeviidae.
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 .
Berghia is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs. They are shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Aeolidiidae. [2] They are covered in cerata which give them their unique tentacle look and color. Berghia are commonly found in shallow waters and their diet consists of strictly Aiptasia Anemone. This genus is now commonly used ...
They feed on the young of these organisms as they are smaller and easier to consume. [11] More specifically, the diamondback tritonia is the only known predator to the polyps of Discophyton rudyi, which are small, colony-forming soft corals found on the rocky shores of the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Although some references [3] [4] state that Berghia coerulescens and other members of Berghia will feed on Aiptasia sp. (sea anemones that are usually considered pests in the marine aquarium hobby), the species most mentioned in Internet forums and articles for the control of Aiptasia anemones is now known to be Berghia stephanieae.
