Bullock's Hypselodoris
Hypselodoris bullockii
Bullock's Hypselodoris crawls over coral reefs and rocky seabeds in warm Indo-Pacific waters. It feeds chiefly on sponges, scraping their tissues with its radula. Its vivid coloration advertises chemical defenses derived from its diet, discouraging would-be predators.
