Nymphon leptocheles

provided by wikipedia EN

Nymphon leptocheles is a species of sea spider first described by Georg Ossian Sars in 1888.[1][2] The species greatly resembles other members of the genus Nymphon, and species identification from morphological traits alone is therefore a complex task.[3]

Habitat

The species inhabits the sublittoral zone and occurs amongst hydroids and sea anemones.

Diet

N. leptocheles feeds on coelenterates.
