Both marked spans share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its proportions; poses and surface detail are illustrative.
A little perspective
The length of 4 inches is about 1.02 times the defined body length of Nudibranch.

4 inches
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Nudibranch
A defined 10 cm dorid nudibranch specimen. Species range from millimetres to many centimetres; rhinophores and gill plume are included in the illustration but not the nose-to-tail calibration.
Smithsonian Ocean — Nudibranchs
The marked defined body length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares length with defined body length. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Length ↔ Defined body length
- Relative size
- 4 inches is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.02. 4 inches's selected measurement is approximately 1.6% greater than Nudibranch's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Nudibranch uses a 10 cm central value within a recorded range of 5 cm–15 cm.
- Nudibranch is labelled defined specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
