Coryphella abei is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Flabellinidae.[2]
Both Ekimova et al. (2026) and Korshunova et al. (2025) consider its placement within Coryphella as only provisional, believing further study is needed to confirm or otherwise clarify its placement.[2] [3]
Distribution
[edit]This species was originally described near Toyama Bay, Japan in the Sea of Japan.
