This species is diurnal, so it is easier to see it at sunrise or sunset for divers.
Although rarer than other nudibranchs, it is well colored and is well marked.
He is not afraid to move on sight, with defensive glands on his body.
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.)
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
