Order Nudibranchia
The Nudibranch, also called a Sea Slug, is similar to a Slug, however it lacks
gills, a protective shell and a mantle cavity. The Sea Slug has rather peculiar outgrowths along its
body called cerata. It is believed that the cerata may be respiratory organs; in some species the cerata
are quite prominent. Shown is the Chomodorid Nudibranch.
