It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Charcotiidae.[2] DistributionThis species is endemic to the South African coast and is found from the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula to Port Elizabeth in 10–40 m. Deep water specimens have been trawled off the KwaZulu-Natal coast.[3] DescriptionThe frilled nudibranch is a large (up to 90 mm) smooth-bodied nudibranch with a frilled appearance. Margins of the body have a bright bluish edge, and the body may have pink or brown pigmentation. The rhinophores are elongated and smooth, and emerge from a scrolled sheath.[4] Branches of the digestive gland fill the frilled edge of the mantle.[5] EcologyThe egg mass of Leminda millecra consists of fat white convoluted curls with large eggs distinctly visible. It is reported to feed on the soft coral Alcyonium fauri.[6] References1. ^[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/40682760#page/335/mode/1up Griffiths R.J. (1985).
