Before on this blog I have posted about the Nembrotha purpureolineata, a nudibranch species that had recently been decided to include what used to be a separate species, Nembrotha rutilans. The nudibranch pictured above would once have been considered the Nembrotha rutilans, which is why I’m giving it its own post. Once again, members of this species grow to be 12cm long, live in the Indo-West Pacific, and feed on ascidians and tunicates. Here is the old post, as it is interesting to see the diversity there is even within nudibranch species!
