Corymorpha nutans

Klas Malmberg Aquatilis How to find Cumanotus beaumonti. Search after the hydroid Corymorpha nutans and there they are... pictures from Sweden today.

Erling Svensen Yes, Klas. Just find a big colony of C. nutans and start searching. I wonder how the C. beaumonti find the colony. That is more interesting to know.

David Kipling Many nudibranch species have planktonic larvae that settle and metamorphose if they touch their food source as they drift by. I'm not sure if that applies to this species (some nudis have direct development, with no veliger).

Christian Skauge Just wanted to test uploading a video :-) This one shows a Cumanotus beaumonti sitting just below the tentacles of a Corymorpha nutans hydroid - its preferred food.

Christian Skauge Okay, something happens... the image is a little compressed sideways.

George Brown Looks perfect on my screen. Well done Christian!
