  • There are still many species of nudibranch that are as yet undescribed by science. This animla rejoices in the name Nembrotha species 2 and is not yet properly taxonomically classified.

  • It is obvious how the construction of this crested nembrotha"s (Nembrotha cristata) rhinophores have been designed in order to maximise their surface area. Like the cooling fins on a motornike engine, this increased surface area allows them to sample more water around them and hence obtian a better picture of their environment.

  • The colors of this Flabellina rubrolineata warn other animals that it may give them a anasty surpise if they try to eat it. It can store the poison from the stinging cells of the animals it eats, and use it as aweapon in its defence.
