Aldisa andersoni is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cadlinidae.[2]
Distribution
This species was described from Pigeon Island, Trincomalee, Sri Lanka.[3][4] It has subsequently been reported from the Muttom coast, India, and Mirissa, Southern Province, Sri Lanka.[5]
Ecology
Aldisa andersoni has been found to contain Phorbazole metabolites which are probably derived from its food, a sponge in the family Hymedesmiidae.[5]
