Very interesting. Make perfect since though. Nudies seem quite talented at using things from there food to fend off enemies and such so why not steal their genes to make food?

Ok, that's pretty damn cool. This is the kind of stuff that made me want to study marine biology as a kid. Long story as to why I didn't, but still . . . Our oceans are amazing places.

When did anybody think that nudis made sense? They are insane looking things with a zillion varieties. If they ate uranium and had bio-reactors, I would say "sure, why not?"

Gotta love those Nudies... Sneaky little guys they are.

Even though it's technically not a nudibranch, I'm still going to consider it one - and this further reaffirms my opinion that nudis are the damn coolest things in the ocean!

This just in... some nudis have perfected the ability to manufacturer and recycle THC!! They're constantly hungry, and if you find one you can smoke it legally!! Nudis are amazing.
