Pomegranate Aeolid (Cuthonella punicea)Observer
neilmcdanielDescription
This nudibranch appears to be quite particular about its prey and is most often found feeding on the polyps of the large hydroid Zyzzyzus rubusidaeus. This hydroid is found only in strongly current-swept habitats and is most abundant in Weynton Passage, near Port McNeill, BC. The second picture shows several nudibranchs attacking the polyps and a deposit of their eggs near the base of the hydroids.
