Ceratosoma sinuata "can change the shape of her body as she pleases, giving extraordinary appearances to her size: sometimes she will dwindle to a small, thing, shriveled object, at other times she will swell to huge proportions. At one minute she will be tall enough to reach the sky, then contract to dwarfish dimensions.
"She is believed to be able to bring down the heavens, hang up the earth, solidify springs of water, melt mountains, lift ships into the air, bring low the gods, put out the stars, and light up the underworld."

Sounds like a busy girl.
She appears to have ich on her... fin... and her... ears... um, whatever those parts are.
But still, another breathtaking nudie posted by Phila!
He would look delightful in my newly painted bathroom.
Look, Phil. Nudibranches may be "sexual cannibals:"
Sexual cannibalism has fascinated biologists ever since Darwin. It is not limited to mantises, but is also found in other invertebrates, including spiders, midges and perhaps horned nudibranchs.
