Nudibranchs are colorful sea slugs that evolved from snails millions of years ago, losing their shells and developing deadly toxins and bright warning colors for defense; some species steal stinging cells from jellyfish and store them for protection, while others can absorb algae and use sunlight for energy like underwater solar panels, with over 3,000 species earning them the nickname 'dragons of the sea'.

Sea Dragons of the Ocean π | The Incredible World of NudibranchsAdded:
This tiny sea creature looks like an alien, but it's real.
Meet the nudibranch, one of the strangest animals in the ocean. Unlike snails, nudibranchs lost their shells millions of years ago. Instead, they evolved deadly toxins and bright warning colors. Some nudibranchs steal stinging cells from jellyfish and store them inside their own bodies, turning themselves into living weapons.
Certain species can even absorb algae and use sunlight for energy, almost like underwater solar panels.
With over 3,000 species, nudibranchs are often called the dragons of the sea, tiny, bizarre, and unbelievably [music] beautiful.
