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).
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.
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.
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.
