I usually find this type of Flabellina where there is a hidden current, however it prefers to shelter in creeks. Once found it is pleasant to shot when it opens its cerata upwards as in this photo taken ~15 mt deep_2023

This Flabellina a. with its lively colors seems to say "be careful"!.After feeding on hydroids, they keep intact the stinging nematocysts contained therein & transfer to cerata for defense against predators_July2023

Lately I've enjoyed finding two or more Cratenas close to each other, I wait and, as if they knew I want to photograph them, they approach each other to give me some shots while they are tangled together_August 2023
