  • Nudibranchs move with the aid of a flat flexible foot located beneath the body.  This foot pulls the slug forward after muscular contractions occur along the body. Crawling is aided by a clear, sticky layer of mucus secreted by a specialised cell in the sole of the foot, Just beneath the skirt cab the seen the sexual organ

  • Risbecia tryoni is often found "tail-gating" one another whereby one individual follows the mucous trail of another.  The reason for "tail-gating" is unknown, however, maybe a method of finding prey or a prelude to mating.  Variation in colour and distribution of spots can differ between  individuals.  <br />

Often found with Imperial Shrimp (Periclimenes impertor) which feeds on parasites and mucous whilst obtaining protection from predators
