Pteraeolidia [Pteraeolidia]

Description

Pteraeolidia are elegant nudibranchs known for their long, feathery cerata (finger-like projections) that sway with the current. Divers often see them on or near their prey, where their delicate, translucent look and rhythmic movement make them feel almost like living sea fans.
