It is a pretty colorful nudibranch and correct size so it's not difficult to find.
This nudibranch feeds mainly on sponges that allow it to secrete a toxin allowing it to defend itself.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
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.)
