Nudibranch

You're welcome in advance for introducing your new favourite shell-less mollusk
grab the cron, crank the Zappa and enjoy.











There are more than 3,000 known species of Nudibranch (Nudey-Bronk), and new ones are being identified almost daily.



They derive their coloring from the food they eat, which helps in camouflage, and some even retain the foul-tasting poisons of their prey and secrete them as a defense against predators.



And they're cannibal motherfuckers. They'll eat each other if there's a shortage of algae or coral noms.
