🔥 Giant Nudibranch Diving Headfirst Into a Tube Anemone to Eat It
I found this giant nudibranch on a night dive and noticed it was lined up directly in front of a tube-dwelling anemone. I got my camera set up and waited. As it moved closer it started probing around with its cerata, the finger-like structures that help with sensing and defense. After about 5 minutes it was close enough that it touched the anemone’s tentacles, I knew something was about to happen. The nudibranch reared up and lunged forward and plunged its head straight into the tube to grab its meal.
