[National Geographic] Greenspot Nudibranch (풀점박이갯민숭이)

Western Pacific Ocean
1996
David Doubilet

"Gliding over filter-feeding strawberry ascidians and stinging hydroids, a greenspot nudibranch senses the sea with hornlike organs called rhinophores. Orange frills on its back are gills. These shell-less snails eat sponges, hydroids, and ascidians that are poisonous to other creatures, incorporating the toxins. Nudibranchs advertise their nastiness with poster colors."
