Cerata

Cerata, singular ceras, are anatomical structures found externally in nudibranch sea slugs, especially in aeolid nudibranchs, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the clade Aeolidida. The word ceras comes from the Greek word "κέρας", meaning "horn", a reference to the shape of these structures.

The tortrix moth genus Cerata is considered a junior synonym of Cydia.

Cerata are dorsal and lateral outgrowths on the upper surfaces of the body of these nudibranchs.
