Some from my trip to Triton Bay, Indonesia




Sun's shining....







Not quite a nudi, but cool

Thought I would add another BC nudi. Found in clumps. Have only seen them in two places, but in each of those places they were everywhere. These are from Port Hardy.

A couple nudis from my Cabo San Lucas trip last month.

This is from the bridge today. Thought it was an anemone, but once I threw the photo in Photoshop, I am thinking it might be a nudi.. thoughts?

Curious, how big are the nudis ya'll find? We are lucky to find anything much bigger than a half inch (12.7mm).

Anything from a few millimeters to half a meter depending on the species..

Some of the ones I find are specks on a piece of rust. I'll take a picture with a 60mm lens, 1.4 teleconverter and +10 diopter, then zoom in on the monitor just to see if it's a nudi. I saw a white speck on a rusty flake from a wreck once and took a shot. I was shocked to see that it was a new nudibranch for me...plus another pair of another new species a half inch away. They were not visible to the naked eye.

Cuthona albocrusta, about 1mm

Pair of Cuthona lagunae, not even visible without macro setup

I don't usually bother with these.. they are a bit common and boring.. but these did look interested.. well in something!

I do love the colours in these.. and here they are guarding some eggs. The only Nudis that do so




Here is a Vercos in Sydney

Not tiny to the same extent, but I love finding small nudibranch in photos of other critters I've taken. For example, the tiny Cockerel's nudibranch in the top right of this photo. For reference, the hermit was probably a little over an inch across.
