Nudibranch - Odontoglaja guamensis
Until this interesting animal was discovered by Clay Carlson & Patty-Jo Hoff in Guam in 1978, all aglajids were characterised by the lack of radular teeth and gizzard plates. These predatory opisthobranchs, related to Philine, have reached a peak in predatory specialisation eating highly mobile prey animals including polychaete worms and other opisthobranch molluscs.
