You can find them throughout the Pacific (Korea, Japan, Siberia, and Alaska to California) dining on bryozoans.

Stalked jellyfish
They live similarly to the polyp phase of other jellyfish, attaching themselves to a surface and using their tentacles to catch plankton.

This koosh hall/ fiber optic toy resembling nudibranch is a Nanaimo dorid
They have been spotted from Alaska to California and get their name from the city in Canada where they were described.

Horned nudibranch along a dark blue background with an orange sponge.
One of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken. Hermissenda crassicornis aka thick-horned or opalescent nudibranch.

The shag-rug nudibranch’s food of choice is anemones (pics 1 and 4 show this). Their mucus temporarily prevents the stinging cells of the anemone from discharging, allowing them to eat without getting stung.

What's my snack? 😋
I believe this squid was snacking on what might be a gold-band fusilier. Nom nom nom. Picture taken in Raja Ampat during a night dive. #MarineLife #🦑 #uwmacro
