Favorinus branchialis
This species feeds mostly on eggs from other opisthobranchs so the color of the cerata depends on the most recent meals.

No doubt many will thank you - well done ! It must be a wonderful world down there and I hope it stays a secure place for these beauties.
Thanks, Mark and Leuba. I've been documenting local species of nudibranchs for the past 15 years mostly because there was little information available. Believe it or not, the only field guide available for Portugal until 2008 had only half a dozen nudibranchs.
Just brilliant. Thanks for sharing this and others - I just love these creatures !
Incredible creature.
