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.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
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.)
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
