[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."

???From "Coral Eden," January 1999, National Geographic magazine
