This is Hexabranchus Sanguineus which is a giant nudibranch. This one was almost two feet long, and has a common name of Spanish Dancer. The Spanish Dancer is special among nudibranchs, in that it can swim. When they are disturbed or threatened they swim off with a beautiful undulating motion. This motion, which is something like a Flamenco Dancer, gave rise to the name Spanish Dancer. |
