Black Sea Slugs and Nudibranchs (109 species) 109

Black ground colours work in concert with vivid blue, yellow or orange bands to create high-contrast warning signals. The blue-black bodies of Tambja and Nembrotha with yellow or orange bands advertise chemical defences sequestered from bryozoan and other prey.
