This nudibranch is of the same family as the painted Thecacerus, but its yellow coloring allowed it to be a species in its own right.

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.
