Another successful day out it looks like!

That bottom slug is particularly funky!

OK...I'm not Nudie officionado so I have a question. The first one has this big gill thingy in the middle of his back. So does the last one, more like horns. The second one has horns on its head yet the third one doesn't look like it has a head at all. So I guess my question is what's the difference? Are some true Nudibranchs and some Slugs or Flatworms?

BTW...very good pics!

The third is actually a polyclad flatworm (not really a nudi). The rest are different species I think. The first look like a chromodoris, while the second looks like a nebrontha. Not sure about the third though.. Let me go check my books...

The first one's my favorite. I am disgustingly ignorant regarding the details of nudibranchs. Dang.

 

[Wolverine]

ok..number 4 is Thecacera picta, number 1 is Jorunna rubescens and number 2 looks like an Elysia.

Man, there are so many species of nudis!!!

I enjoy a good slugging!!!

Thanks Nick.
