Some species of nudibranch can be found trailing, also known as tail-gating or queueing. Most often this is seen with Hypselodoris tryoni.
Nudibranchs move on a flat, broad muscle called the foot, which leaves a slimy trail, which costs energy to produce. One theory is the second animal benefits by following the mucous trail and therefore uses less energy.
