Staging of post-settlement growth in the nudibranch Hypselodoris festiva. Hayashi, M. & Nakano, H. Scientific Reports, 14(1):16157, July, 2024. Paper doi abstract bibtex Abstract Sea slugs of the family Chromodorididae (Nudibranchia, Gastropoda, Mollusca) have garnered attention by researchers and hobbyists alike for their bright and variable color patterns. However, the chromodorid life cycle has yet to be fully elucidated as there exist no reports of their rearing in the laboratory. Here, we report the rearing of Hypselodoris festiva from eggs to adults, where we categorized their post-settlement growth patterns from juvenile to adult stages. Body coloration appeared around 36 days, and organogenesis of vital adult organs began within 42 days after hatching. The anus of H. festiva was observed to change from a ventral to dorsal position during juvenile growth. Individuals reached sexual maturity after six months post-hatching, with successful mating and spawning observed ex situ. This study outlines comprehensive rearing methods and life cycle staging that could be applied to other chromodorid species. We propose H. festiva as a model organism for chromodorid research, with this research contributing to the progress of developmental and evolutionary research on sea slugs.
