The alabaster nudibranch (*Dirona albolineata*) is a strikingly beautiful sea slug found along the Pacific coast of North America, from Alaska to California. This species is named for its translucent, alabaster-white body adorned with delicate, leaf-like cerata, which aid in respiration and can give the nudibranch a feathery appearance. These marine gastropods are carnivorous, feeding on small invertebrates like bryozoans and hydroids. Despite their delicate look, they are well-adapted predators in their ecosystem. Alabaster nudibranchs are hermaphroditic, possessing both male and female reproductive organs, a common trait in nudibranchs that increases their chances of successful mating in the ocean's vast expanse. #animals #nature #shorts
