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.
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!
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.
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.
