Extract from a chapter from a book on ecology. TIA, Jason.
Una parte del material vegetal absorbido es digerido inmediatamente, pero en algunas especies de sacoglosos los cloroplastos del alga son retenidos, no son digeridos y permanecen activos durante semanas e incluso meses en las células de la glándula digestiva. A menudo el molusco alberga tantos cloroplastos que tiene el color de éstos, normalmente verde, pero a veces rojo. Además, hay asimismo pigmentos propios. Se les ha calificado de moluscos criptogámicos, y se ha hablado de parasimbiosis o de simbiosis de cloroplastos en referencia a esta asociación, que implica importantes adaptaciones de los animales, como las morfológicas del manto y de los **ceratas**, o de comportamiento; cleptoplastia es también un término común para referirse a este fenómeno. Pero mientras es cierto que hay adaptación, no es tan claro que haya simbiosis, por lo que se dirá más adelante.

cerata
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudibranch
The word "nudibranch" comes from Latin nudus meaning "naked", and Greek brankhia meaning "gills". The name is appropriate since the dorids (infraclass Anthobranchia) breathe through a branchial plume of bushy extremities on their back, rather than using gills. By contrast, on the back of the aeolids in infraclass Cladobranchia there are brightly colored sets of tentacles called cerata.
