One of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken. Hermissenda crassicornis aka thick-horned or opalescent nudibranch.

Stalked jellyfish

They live similarly to the polyp phase of other jellyfish, attaching themselves to a surface and using their tentacles to catch plankton.

These guys feed on hydroids, bryozoans, crustaceans, ascidians, and snails.

I believe this squid was snacking on what might be a gold-band fusilier. Nom nom nom. Picture taken in Raja Ampat during a night dive. #MarineLife #🦑 #uwmacro
What's my snack? 😋

The shag-rug nudibranch’s food of choice is anemones (pics 1 and 4 show this). Their mucus temporarily prevents the stinging cells of the anemone from discharging, allowing them to eat without getting stung.

This koosh hall/ fiber optic toy resembling nudibranch is a Nanaimo dorid

They have been spotted from Alaska to California and get their name from the city in Canada where they were described.

You can find them throughout the Pacific (Korea, Japan, Siberia, and Alaska to California) dining on bryozoans.
