              Where 
            seen? Sometimes seen on some of our reefy shores. 
             
            Features: About 3cm long. It has 
            a pair of 'flaps' (mantle lobes) in the middle of the body which it 
            can use to swim with. There are fluffy structures (dendritic gill-like 
            structures) inside the mantle lobes. The brush-like rhinophores are 
            tiny and are at the tip of a huge rhinophore stalk. 
             
            What does it eat? This nudibranch 
            eats hydroids. |
