Nymphon gracile is a species of sea spider first described by William Elford Leach in 1863.[1] The species highly resembles other members of the genus Nymphon, and species identification from morphological traits alone is therefore a complex task.[2]
Habitat
The species inhabits the sublittoral zone and occurs amongst hydroids and sea anemones.[3]
Diet
Feeds on coelenterates.
