This beautiful nudibranch can be confused with a few species that are very similar to it.
It's a beautiful specimen that is crossed less often than other nudibranchs, especially because it is diurnal.
This species feeds on sponges, it moves to see, not afraid to be spotted by the presence of defensive glands on its body.
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.)
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
