This nudibranch is quite common, even if its small size and the hydrates on which it is does not facilitate its research!
It feeds on hydrates (a kind of underwater reed) and devours the polyps.
Like all the Eolidians, this nudibranch breathes through the skin through the ends of its cerates (thorns).
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.
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 kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
