About this book

Language: Japanese with scientific nomenclature

Nudibranchs are among the most beautiful creatures on the reef, with colors and shapes that dazzle and delight. Unlike fish that may disappear before our eyes in a flash, the showy nudibranch glides slowly along the substrate, allowing us the time to savor this extraordinary sight.

With their shell-less unprotected, bodies how do they survive in seas filled with hungry mouths? How do these sightless creatures navigate the reefs to find food and mates? What and how do they eat? How do they reproduce? What special relationships have they developed with other reef inhabitants? These and many more questions are answered in this informative and lavishly illustrated book. You will never look at nudibranchs the same way again.

Summary in Japanese:
生き物は、生き方に合わせて自在に姿を変える。イカだって、タコだって、もとはと言えば貝の仲間だ。ウミウシもかつては殻を持つ巻貝だった。遠縁にあたるナメクジは、よく見ると形はウミウシに似ているものの、冴えない色で人気がない。その点、ウミウシはきれいで華やかだ。ダイビング中や磯で見つけるととても幸せな気持ちになる。でも、ウミウシがどうやって身を守り、何を食べて、どのように暮らしているのかはほとんど知られていない。著者のベーレンスさんが知る限りのウミウシ情報を結集して、美しい写真とともにウミウシの生き方を紹介した本書に、最近になってわかった知識を書き加え、最新の分類体系に改めて日本の読者にお届けする。
