I don't think that it eats the ascidiacea on which it is, I never read something around this.* ## Notes To differentiate from the other pink aeolidians in the same geography, such as [Flabellina affinis - Pink flabellina](Flabellina%20affinis%20-%20Pink%20flabellina.md), we can observe the cerates and rhinophores. Steven Weinberg in its book made a great table for that: | Rhinophores | Rhinophores and cerates endings | Species | |-----------------------------|---------------------------------|----------------------| | Smooth or slightly wrinkled | White | Edmunsella pedata | | Ringed | White | Flabellina ischitana | | Ringed | Purple | [Flabellina affinis](Flabellina%20affinis%20-%20Pink%20flabellina.md) | ## References - https://doris.ffessm.fr/Especes/Edmundsella-pedata-Coryphelle-mauve-153/(rOffset)/0 - [Découvrir la vie sous-marine - Méditerranée - Steven Weinberg](Découvrir%20la%20vie%20sous-marine%20-%20Méditerranée%20-%20Steven%20Weinberg.md) p290
