A genus of small, brightly colored sea slugs or nudibranchs found in marine environments.
From New Latin scientific nomenclature, likely from Greek 'dotos' (given) or descriptive of its appearance. Named in the 18th-19th century during taxonomic classification.
These tiny sea slugs often mimic the appearance of the sea creatures they eat—some even steal their stinging cells to use as their own defense, one of nature's coolest copycat strategies.
