armina nudibranch Dermatobranchus sp. Family Arminidae updated Oct 10 Where seen? This tiny nudibranch is sometimes seen on coral rubble and seaweeds near reefs on our Southern shores. Relatively regular encounters suggest they may be quite common but often overlooked because they are so tiny and usually buried. What does it eat? According to Bill Rudman some species eat soft corals and sea fans. |
