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.
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.

Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
