In detail

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).
