Info

Cerberilla pungoarena Collier & Farmer, 1964

Cerberilla pungoarena has become a common member of California’s sand bottom habitat from San Diego to the Channel Islands. This is a rare nudibranch!

Cerberilla pungoarena has a white body with white tipped cerata.

All Cerberilla burrow in soft sediments for cnidarian prey (sea anemone). Their long oral tentacles are used to locate potential food, and the broad head-shield provides the ability to burrow easily.
