小知識

種名「rutilans」在拉丁文中意為「閃耀金紅光芒」，形容其鮮豔如火的鰓葉與嗅角；牠們是專門啃食群體海鞘的大型多角海蛞蝓，體內的鮮豔警戒色明確警告魚類其體表充滿難以忍受的化學毒性物質。

Its specific name "rutilans" means glowing reddish-golden in Latin, denoting its vivid flame-like gills; it grazes heavily on colonial ascidians, sequestering their distasteful chemical compounds to advertise toxicity.
