Depending on the species, they can be found in every temperature zone from the Arctic to the topical although the greatest diversity is found in warm, shallow reefs. They are always found on the ocean floor and the depths can vary from the intertidal zone ( where the ocean meets the land between high and low tide) to 8,200ft deep.
Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites, possessing male and female reproductive material. They generally cannot self-fertilize and in romantic encounters, the more dominant of the two acts as the male.
It is seldom that one learns something new that is overwhelming. I am so thrilled to learn about these beautiful creatures.
Wow! I had no idea sea slugs were so beautiful!
I have loved these creatures since I first saw one in a documentary! My sister-in-law is a marine biologist who explained about them. This is such a wonderful topic. I definitely will watch the video.
I always hated the slimy slugs in my garden. These are beautiful. Thanks for opening my eyes
Can they be kept alive in a marine aquarium?
I have no idea but there are many websites online that should be able to help.
