Cannibal nudibranch feeding behaviour sequence
Roboastra luteolineolata
vs
Nembrotha
This action took place on a Beyond Komodo critter cruise. I can only take a guess that the smaller nudibranch is one which eats hydroids and ingests them into its skin, making it foul tasting and this was why the cannibal nudibranch spat it out -- twice!
