(Nudibranchia: Trinchesiidae) is a novel species that feeds on corals in the genus (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) which are economically important in the aquarium industry. Nuclear-encoded H3, 28SC1-C2, and mitochondrial-encoded COI and 16S markers were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis, Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), morphological data, and feeding specialization all support the designation of as a distinct species. Although new to science, had been extensively reported by aquarium hobbyists as a prolific pest over the past two decades. The species fell into a well-studied genus, which could facilitate research into its control in reef aquaria. Our phylogenetic analysis also revealed formed a well-supported clade with . Based upon a literature review, its original morphological description, and our phylogenetic hypothesis, we reclassified this species as
（裸鳃亚目：Trinchesiidae科）是一种以（石珊瑚目：鹿角珊瑚科）属的珊瑚为食的新物种，这些珊瑚在水族行业具有重要的经济价值。对核编码的H3、28SC1 - C2以及线粒体编码的COI和16S标记进行了测序。系统发育分析、自动条形码间隙发现（ABGD）、形态学数据和食性特化均支持将其认定为一个独特的物种。尽管对科学界来说是新物种，但在过去二十年里，水族爱好者广泛报道该物种是一种繁殖力强的害虫。该物种属于一个研究充分的属，这有助于对其在珊瑚礁水族箱中的控制进行研究。我们的系统发育分析还表明，它与形成了一个得到充分支持的进化枝。基于文献综述、其原始形态描述以及我们的系统发育假设，我们将该物种重新分类为
