This species of nudibranch has no visible gills on the mantle, they are in fact on both sides of the feet, hidden by the coat.
This nudibranch secretes by these dorsal glands a white liquid toxic to other individuals. This allows him to have few predators, besides a flatworm (Pseudoceros imitatus) imitated his physique to take advantage of this defense system.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
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.)
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
