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).
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.
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
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!
