Cadlina modesta
Modest cadlina nudibranch
Distribution
Description
Characteristic band of yellow-tipped glands around the mantle skirt a distance away from the outer mantle margin, the forward-most of these extend ahead of the rhinophores. Rhinophores and circlar gills are usually pale yellow, which can distinguish this species from Cadlina flavomaculata which exhibits black or dark brown rhinophores and also occurs in the Pacific North West.
Information
Max Size: N/A cm
Sea Temperature Range: N/A

Habitat Generalization Index: N/A
Also referred to as the SGI (Species Generalisation Index), this describes the habitat niche breadth of the species. Species with values less than 15 are found in a relatively narrow range of reef habitat types (specialists), while those over 25 may be found on most hard substrates within their range (generalists).

Conservation and Rarity
IUCN Status: Not Evaluated
Occurrence: Widespread (66.7% of sites)
Occurrence describes how often the species is found on surveys within its distribution. It is calculated as the % of reef sites surveyed by RLS divers across all the ecoregions in which the species has been observed
Abundance: Solitary (1 per transect)
Abundance is calculated as the average number of individuals recorded per RLS transect, where present.
