Marine Life of California's Rocky Shores

Nudibranch species Triopha catalinae.

There are over 100 species of nudibranchia in California, and each has its own unique and interesting story. Many are brightly colored, but some blend into their surroundings or match their prey (upon which they may live). These are such beautiful creatures--it is hard to imagine that some animals find them toxic.
