Nudibranch Week!

This week the creature feature at the Portsmouth touch tank are Nudibranchs. Nudibranchs are found at all depths in salt water however they reach their largest size in warm shallow water. Nudibranchs are commonly referred to as "sea slugs" and have simple body structures which lack a mantle cavity and are bilaterally symmetrical.

At the tank we have arts and crafts and a naming contest geared towards our Nudibranchs so come by and check it out!
