Hermissenda

Hermissenda crassicornis

Group: Nudibranch
Typical depth: 0–28 m
Max size: 7 cm

This sea slug eats hydroids, anemones, bryozoans and other small prey, yet it never sets off their stinging cells. Instead it shunts the stingers, undigested, out to the tips of its frilly cerata and turns them into its own defence.
