Pseudovermis salamandrops an interstitial sea slug

Pseudovermis is genus of minute sea slugs, specifically aolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pseudovermidae.

These extremely small sea slugs are meiofauna; they live among sand grains. Pseudovermis means fake worm, because these slugs resemble minute worms.
