Very nice nudibranch of the aeolis family.
This nudibranch is carnivorous and keeps intact the stinging cells of living beings that it consumes, it then ejects them in case of danger. We do not know any real predator at the red-finger aeolis.
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
