Managed to find and photograph a couple different species of nudibranchs while backpacking on the coast this last week.

That is a really wild looking slug. What do you think those black things are that look like frog or salamander eggs?

Maybe baby hermits or snails.   There were big hatch groups of them and crabs everywhere.   Yes that is underwater.   I have a couple more species when I get a chance.   Good day in the Tidal zone.   YES Fish, please do.

I have a ton of pictures of these little things, so I'll try to not go too crazy.  Sorry, I think they are really freaking cool!  Some of my favorites...

White Lined Dirona



"Fed-Ex"nudi





Three Lined Nudibranch I think.  Bone, I think this is the one you started the thread with...?  I could be totally wrong though.   :dunno:



Gold Dirona...



Giant Red Dendronotid, about the size of a football (yeah, that's a big slug!)...



Giant Nudibranch, also football sized...



Shaggy Mouse nudi...



One of my favorites, a Lion's Mane (or hooded) nudi.  They are transparent, you can see all their innards.  This one is filter feeding, his "mane" is open to catch food...






This one is a nudi who's diet consists solely of other nudibranchs.  It's about the size of a whole banana.
