- Abstract
- Most nudibranchs feed on hydroid polyps and anemones, using stolen stinging capsules of eaten victims, kleptocnids, for protection. The nudibranch Coryphella trophina (Bergh, 1890) was found to eat other nudibranchs. This predator uses for protection stinging capsules which were stolen twice: once they were stolen by mollusks that fed on cnidarians, and the second time they were stolen by C. trophina itself that ate these mollusks.
