Dr. White's critique of your first draft

Article body To what sections of the Wiki article are you adding this information? There are more than 2,000 [The current article says there are about 3000 species.] known species, many of which are characterized by the feathery gills and horns on their backs. Generally, most are oblong in shape but can be thick or flattened, or long or short ranging from a quarter of an inch up to a foot. [The current article days the size range is 0.16-23.63 inches] Most nudibranchs are primarily found in shallow, tropical waters. Nudibranchs are gastropods without a shell, the loss of which has been correlated with chemical defense mechanisms, like the stinging capsules in the eolid nudibranchs. Theses defense mechanisms are composed of natural products, that are used to obtain their prey.

Overall, your information does not add much to the existing article. You need to find a way to add information using your citations that is not already included and you need to specify to what section you are adding each piece of information. Nice addition of an image. Be sure to include in text citations and links to other Wikipedia pages. Your peer reviews have some good suggestions to follow as well.
