Hi I noticed you already posted about sea lemon nudibranchs but I was wondering if you had any more facts about them or the Family Dorididae. I can't find much info from google and I am studying them for a field trip to the beach. Thanks!

Hey. I don’t really have any facts about them that Google doesn’t have. But I can steer you in the right direction. Nudipixel is a pretty good site for nudibranch information. And as always a good ole Google scholar search can bring up some papers that might help too. I hope that helps

Update: there are now TWO tax guys hunched over the computer and papers, puzzling over my taxes because none of it makes sense

Tax guy 2: No, no, it shouldn’t be coming out like that
Tax guy 1: But I entered it into this form
Tax guy 2: It’s not showing up!?
Tax guy 1: It should be showing up!
Me: So what you’re saying is taxes are impossible?
Tax guy 1: ….. Yeah
Tax guy 2: Pretty much

not sure why but this is delicious to my soul

Polycectus cuplifer 

…is a species of Xanthid crab that occurs in the Indo-Pacific, ranging from Madagascar and the Red Sea, west to Japan, and east to Hawaii and French Polynesia. It is covered in a dense coat of setae (britsltes) which earns it the nickname of ‘teddy-bear crab’. Like the closely related Lybia.sp P.cuplifer holds a mutualistic relationship with sea anemones. As it will hold them in its claws and use them for defense. In turn the anemone gets more acess to food due to the motility of the crab.
