This nudibranch is quite common, even if its small size and the hydrates on which it is does not facilitate its research!
It feeds on hydrates (a kind of underwater reed) and devours the polyps.
Like all the Eolidians, this nudibranch breathes through the skin through the ends of its cerates (thorns).
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
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!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
