Acanthodoris rhodoceras is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae.[2]
Distribution
[edit]This species was described from Dead Man's Island, San Pedro, California. It has been reported from Umpqua River, Oregon south to Bahía de los Ángeles, Gulf of California, Mexico.[3][4] Specimens from Pillar Point, San Mateo County; Ellwood Boulder Field, Santa Barbara County and Hazard Canyon, San Luis Obispo County have been sequenced for the 16S ribosomal RNA, Histone H3 and CO1 genes.[5][6]
