# Nudibranch (*Nudibranchia*)

## Quick facts

- **Rank:** Order
- **Scientific name:** Nudibranchia
- **Body shape:** Invertebrate - Not a fish - coral, mollusc, crustacean, echinoderm and other invertebrate groups.
- **Species listed here:** 149

## How to recognise this group

- soft, shell-less body
- bright, varied colour patterns
- small size, usually under 10 cm

They are snails that threw away the shell.

A nudibranch is a marine gastropod, the same group as the garden snail and the cowrie, that abandoned its shell somewhere back in its evolutionary history and never rebuilt it. The name means naked gills, and it describes the plume or the rows of finger-like projections on the back that most of them breathe through, standing exposed where a shell would once have been. Most are between one and six centimeters long. A few reach thirty.

Giving up armor should have been suicide, and instead it produced some of the most conspicuous animals in the sea. The trick is that a nudibranch does not make its own weapons: it steals them. Species that eat hydroids and fire corals swallow the stinging cells intact, pass them undischarged through the gut, and park them in the tips of those projections on their backs, where they work exactly as they did in the animal that grew them. Species that eat sponges strip out the sponge's chemical defenses and store them in the skin. What you are looking at is an animal armed entirely with somebody else's equipment.

Once you can afford to be untouchable, hiding stops paying, and advertising starts. The colors are a warning label: orange and blue and white in patterns that no predator forgets after one attempt. This is why they crawl slowly across open rock in broad daylight while everything else on the reef is hiding.

And that is why photographers love them. A nudibranch does not flee, does not blink, and holds a pose. Every one is a small find rather than a sighting, guides on this coast build reputations on knowing where particular species turn up, and the same animal is spectacular at close range and invisible from a meter away. Each is also both male and female at once, which is why you sometimes find two pressed side by side, facing opposite ways.
