The nudibranch group of molluscs achieve their brilliantly coloured surfaces from the pigments they ingest with their food. |
Nature, of course, thinks of everything and it seems that a nudibranch getting its own sperm or eggs is impossible. |
The nudibranch Melibe leonina swims by rhythmically flexing its body from side to side at a frequency of I cycle every 2-5 sec. |
The sandy patches yield burrowing starfish, rare delicate tube anemones, heart urchins, peacock flounders, and many species of nudibranch and sea hare. |
Coleoidea, Crustaceans, nudibranch mollusks and polychaete worms make up a large part of the larger zooplankton. |
Once the cnidae have matured within the nudibranch, they can be used in its own defense. |
