How does a nudibranch foot work?

May 25, 2001
From: Valda Fraser

Dear Bill
I want to know about nudibranch locomotion and have searched your General Topics section without success. Can you explain how the foot is used? For instance, do the foot muscles initiate movement? Is there mucus? Are there cilia on the under-surface? Thanks.
Regards

Dear Valda,
It's one of the gaps in the General Topics list that I have been planning to fill. I have prepared a Locomotion Page. I hope that answers your question. If not, let me know
Cheers,
Bill
