Others such as these little Nembrotha have a liking for Tunicates - in this case more than they can chew #SeaSlugSquad #TeamNudi #SlugsVsFishes #NomNom pic.twitter.com/2XxFxWQUxl

Day Two of #SlugsVsFishes is all about Predation + Eating. My favorite Hawaiian Plakobranchus likes to eat up to 23 different types of micro-greens, making it one of the top vegetarians in the Sacoglossa crew! #TeamNudi all the way! pic.twitter.com/d3hNC8WPAB

The White-spotted Sea Goddess (yes, best common name ever) has no hard mouthparts, but is that a problem? NO! This nudibranch spews digestive enzymes onto sponges and then sucks out the juicy bits. #SeaSlugSquad #SlugsVsFishes 📷Marco Mazza inaturalist.org/observations/4… pic.twitter.com/0qn6nXohXh

Day 2 of #SlugsVsFishes is about eating. This 4mm Eubranchus is eating hydroid polyps. It will eat and migrate the stinging cells to the end of its cerata (the deely bob looking things), and use it for defense. #SlugsVsFish #SeaSlugSquad #TeamNudi #TeamFish pic.twitter.com/0QvWZKLTPt

Day 2 of #SlugsVsFish and #TeamNudi dominate today! Slugs like this Pteraeolidia (taken in Tulamben, Indonesia) feed on hydroids and use the zooxanthellae to photosynthesize 🤯🤯🤯 pic.twitter.com/XbmdavLrrI

I see #SlugsVsFishes has come to the topic of diet, so I would like to share the wonderful Branched Dendronotus (𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘴), who look just like their hydroid lunch! #TeamNudi #TeamSeaSlug #SlugsVsFish pic.twitter.com/9f1yVpVqS5

#TeamFish We have a whole lineage of #SeaSlugs that specialize on eating corals. They can be so well camouflaged that they go unnoticed.🧐 Check these dudes below!

#TeamNudi Indo-Pacific Dirty Dorids are a lot more fussy about what they like to eat. With so many options at the buffet it can be overwhelming! It also means these dorids aren't as tasty to those nasty fishes, which means they stick around a lot longer! #SlugsVsFishes pic.twitter.com/pbpLb5BCOt

Chromodorid nudibranchs, like Hypselodoris emma, like to eat sponges. This purple sponge is particularly popular with them. #SlugsVsFishes #SlugsVsFish #SeaSlugSquad #TeamNudi #TeamFish pic.twitter.com/HD0SfydYIK

Unlike lame fish tongues, #nudibranch tongues are covered in lil treth! Their spiky tongue, called a radula, lets them eat things like sponges by licking them to death 😇 #TeamNudi #SeaSlugSquad #SlugsVsFishes pic.twitter.com/101CtBgO7q
