Coryphella dana is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Flabellinidae.[2]
Ekimova et al. (2026) placed it within Coryphella provisionally based upon morphological analysis, believing molecular data is needed to confirm or otherwise clarify its placement[2].
Distribution
