Nudibranch

(Flabellina rubrolineata) Aeolid nudibranchs can be recognised by the long tubular 'cerata' which grow out from their body. Each 'ceras' usually has a tube-like branch of the gut running to its tip. In those species, such as Flabellina, which find on hydroids and other stinging cnidarians, there is a sac at the tip of each ceras which contains stinging cells removed from the cnidarian (30mm).
