Meet the Nudibranch
Part of the order Nudibranchia, nudibranchs are some of the most visually stunning creatures on Earth. These exotic sea slugs, known for their lustrous colours and intricate patterns, actually get their unique appearance from the food they eat.
Unlike other mollusks, they lack a shell, relying on chemical defences to survive. Some even harness toxins or stinging cells from their prey to become venomous themselves. Despite their soft appearance, nudibranchs are resilient and thrive in diverse marine environments, from coral reefs to icy depths.
