Hopkin’s Rose Nudibranch
Hopkin’s rose nudibranch is a sea slug that lives in the tidepools along North America’s West Coast. It gets its rosy-pink pigment by eating pink bryozoans — tiny, colonial animals that form larger plant-like structures. Despite looking like bubblegum, its frilly pink appearance is thought to deter predators.
