Check it; you can find them in the Sound!!!
First is the Giant nudi, Dendronotus iris, is the biggest nudi in the world reaching lengths of more than 30cm!!! Wait, they get cooler. When threatened, they can jump off the ground and swim away! These guys feed only on tube anemones!
Also, they come in many different colors. For example:
Next is a "mystery" animal found in someone's sewer... Surprise! It's a nudibranch! Bet you didn't guess that one!
This is Onchidoris bilamellata or the rough-mantled doris. They're kinda ugly, but they do this really nifty thing during breeding season. Literally thousands of these nudis will congregate and start swarming, slowly crawling in one direction. They all start to follow the slime trails (mucus) of the individual in front of them, forming lines of nudis several hundred long! So COOL!
