Safari Ltd. Nudibranch Toy Figure

Although nudibranchs are sometimes confused with sea slugs, the two are not actually closely related. As indicated by their often bright and vibrant colors, many nudibranchs have developed chemical defense mechanisms. Unlike most species, however, nudibranchs do not produce their own chemical defenses, but instead obtain them from their food sources. Sponges, the primary source of nourishment of the nudibranch, often contain poisonous chemicals in their tissues. Astoundingly, after consuming a sponge, nudibranchs are able to recycle those poisonous chemicals and use them to deter predators from eating them!
