Happy morning Dittlor Dabblors, I’m begging SOMEONE, anyone, to ask me about nudibranchs.
What is that?
I am SO glad you asked & would be thrilled to answer!!!! They are a species of sea slug. They’re particularlyfascinating to me because they are made up of these insane, vibrant patterns without any protective structurelike a shell. Some steal stinging cells to store on their appendages, others store the toxins from what they eat& use it. Some are covered in rainbow feathers (super rare)!!! Here’s a pic with some of the most common.https://blossom.ditto.pub/43da2d0208a1d418517d0c276c7cbcf0198c5d3c0a8ef91ba9c2b23d5ad7d3e8.webp

SubhanAllah girl look at this one!!! This is a “babakina anadoni” or rainbow sea slug. They are the most rare of the nudibranch & they say the most vibrant of known sea life!!! https://blossom.ditto.pub/ad48dc25fc00cb47ea428f4f1658544d6e8705feeb6506b3b1ace1dd22fe2ceb.jpeg
