Spanish Shawl Nudibranch (Flabellina iodinea)
Description:
Description: The bright colors warn predators of its bad taste,. It can swim by making a series of quick lateral, U-shaped bends to its body, first to one side, then to the other, as seen here. It feeds on hydroids. I wanted it to straighten out, but that is not its MO. Date: 17 June 2011, 17:25. Source: Spanish Shawl Nudibranch (Flabellina iodinea).
