Description
Aglajidae is a family within the order Aglajoid, comprising a group of sea slugs that are characterized by their streamlined bodies and the ability to swim using lateral flexions of the body. They are mostly small to medium in size and exhibit a range of colors and patterns. Aglajids are predatory, feeding on other small marine invertebrates. They are found in a variety of marine habitats, from shallow coastal waters to deeper oceanic zones.
