Info

Julia exquisita Gould, 1862

Julia exquisita is a member of the gastropod family Juliidae, whose species differ from other gastropods by having a bivalve shell.

As sacoglossans these small animals feed on the content of specific Caulerpaalgae and should be sustainable in aquaria provided they have access to an adequate food source and provided there are no predatory tankmates.

Colour green or brown.
