The best nudes are nudibranchs!! 🤩 These soft-bodied sea slugs are found all around the world’s oceans in different colours and patterns. Nudibranchs are tiny but mighty, with some even stealing stinging cells from their prey and using them for their own defence. They’re incredibly diverse, with over 3,000 species and more being discovered all the time. These Pokémon of the sea are always a joy to see! #nudibranch #seaslug #marinebiology #nature | The Nature Educator

There are 1000’s of species of sea slugs. This nudibranch is just one of the spectacularly colored ones that exist in tropical locations. The rhinophores (aka the nose of the nudibranch) come out of the top of the head of the slug and look a lot like antennae in insects. These structures have special receptors that allow the nudibranch to sense chemical cues in the water, enabling them to find food and avoid predators. Love these little creatures!
