Their body is transparent white coloured, with a kind of opaque white ribbon drawn on the back, forming an elongated circle around the pericardium. The dorsal apices (cerata) are from a mixed white colour, but this depends also on the color of their food, due to the digestive tract inside the cerata. There are authors who say that they present a bag full of urticant cells (cnidosac) on the tips of the cerata.
Where does it live?<\/strong>
They have been found on the British Isles, Cape Verde, the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
How does it feed?<\/strong>
This species feeds on the eggs of other nudibranchs, so they are found on places with high density of other nudibranchs.
How do they reproduce?<\/strong>
All animals have both sexes (hermaphrodites). Usually they reproduce with other individuals, sticking a nail-shaped penis through thir couples skin. Rarely selfreproduction. The eggs of this species are thin and rolled up to a thread like a hair.
Is a confusion possible?<\/strong>
There is no information about a possible confusion with other species.
Curiosities<\/strong>
· Searching inside the eggs of other nudibranchs we can find Favorinus branchialis<\/em> perfectly hidden, due to their colour which fastly changes to the colour of their food
· They are one of the fastest nudibranch species
