Hexabranchus morsomus [Hexabranchus morsomus]
Description
Hexabranchus morsomus is a nudibranch with a distinctive, often mottled look that can make it seem like part of the habitat rather than a separate animal. Divers who spot one will usually notice its calm, deliberate movement and its tendency to occur in sponge-rich areas where it can find food.
