The Bornella anguilla is one of the larger nudibranchs you can find, growing up to 8cm in length. However, what this nudibranch is known for is its odd swimming motion - while most nudibranchs can swim in what looks like a very taxing manner, the Bornella anguilla swims using lateral flexions, and ends up looking similar to an eel (hence the name anguilla, which is a genus containing many eels). It can be found throughout the Indo-West Pacific, and yes, those small black dots in front of its rhinophores are its eyes!
