The Hair Curler Seaslug (Spurilla neapolitana) is a southern species that was first discovered in Cornwall by @charlotte.cumming last year. It has quickly established itself as one of the most common species found here in Falmouth. As always I was a little bit late to the party spotting this nudibranch but lately they have become hard to miss! This species feeds on anemones using their radular teeth and can easily be found at the base of Snakelocks anemones. The stinging cells of their prey are neatly incorporated into their own curly cerata. I found baby slugs as well and this species is clearly here to stay. What will this explosion of new predators mean for the anemones? Will Snakelocks populations collapse before antipredation mutations appear? Or perhaps it is not such a problem for them, we will find out!
