The vibrant colors of the spanish shawl nudibranch are stunning, but they also serve an important purpose. Scientists believe that the orange cerata (horn like structures) on the nudibranch’s back help to camouflage it as it feeds on colorful polyps and anemones. The spanish shawl is one of the only sea slugs capable of swimming. It does so by flexing its body back and forth which allows it to gracefully navigate throughout the water.
