Even though this nudibranch has defensive glands, its translucent color also acts as a camouflage.
Indeed, if he lands on a red coral for example, the reflections on his skin will allow him to go unnoticed.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
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!
