Nembrotha chamberlaini

Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of nudibranchs is the pair of tentacles on the head, called rhinophores. They are chemical sensors used to smell and taste the chemicals dissolved in the water, such as food and potential mates. Many species of nudibranchs can retract these vital organs to protect them against other fish.
