Trapania melaina is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae.[2]
This species was first described from Sodwana Bay, South Africa.[3]
This goniodorid nudibranch is black in colour with a fine speckling of cream spots. The oral tentacles, lateral papillae, tail and rhinophores are tipped with orange and the gills are translucent with small yellow and black spots.[3]
Trapania melaina probably feeds on Entoprocta which often grow on sponges and other living substrata.
