(Kölliker, 1872)[1]

Renilla muelleri (also spelled R. mulleri or R. müilleri) is a species of sea pansy. It has been reported from the Gulf Coast of the United States, notably the Florida panhandle,[2] but is also reported from the eastern coast of South America.[3] It is thought to be a euryhaline littoral species, found to a depth of up to 150 meters.[3]

The genome of R. muelleri was sequenced in 2019.[4]
