Cerberilla nudibranch
Cerberilla sp.

Order Nudibranchia

This nudibranch (about 1cm) was seen in a sandy pool on the northern arm of the sand bar. It burrows in sand and probably eats sea anemones that live there. The projections on its back are called cerata. The long tentacles are probably used to search for prey in the sand.
