Corambe
Introduction ''Corambe'' is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in family Corambidae within the superfamily Onchidoridoidea.Species in this genus show a characteristic posterior notch in the notum (which is lacking in some taxa) and a characteristic gill morphology, especially the presence of ventral gills.
Habitat These nudibranchs occur in littoral and sublittoral temperate waters of the northern and southern hemispheres.
General description They are mostly small (between 5 and 10 mm) and rather hard to find because they are very well camouflaged. They prey on encrusting bryozoans.Corambe pacifica from Santa Cruz, California with egg spirals on bryozoan on giant kelp
