Nudibranches like this one have shells in their larval stages, but shed them as adults. When they grow up, different species adapt a wide range of strategies to avoid predators: some take on camouflaging patterns, while others go in the opposite direction and adapt bright colors that warn other creatures of their toxicity. Some nudibranches appropriate toxic substances from their prey; others produce their own chemical weapons.
