Spanish Shawl Nudibranch
February 6, 2003

Hi!! My name is Chase Walden. I am in the fifth grade. I am having some trouble finding information on a Spanish Shawl Nudibranch. I need to know the size of it.
I need to find some information sources. Is this sea creature rare?
THANK'S

Dear Chase,
Have a look at the Fact Sheet for that species, and if you have a look at the other messages on this page you will find quite a lot more information on it. Its scientific name is Flabellina iodinea, and it is an aeolid nudibranch. Aeolids have some interesting ways of defending themselves. Have a look at the pages on cerata and cnidosacs for some background information.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
