Rhodope veranii

Rhodope veranii is a species of small meiofaunal sea slug, a shell-less vermiform gastropod mollusk in the family Rhodopidae. Its worm-like body structure differs considerably from typical gastropods, to the point of being mistaken for a flatworm in the past. It is the type species of the genus Rhodope.

Feeding habits

Rhodopids are the only known predators of placozoans, which make up the primary component of their diet.
