No exactly a nudibranch targeted shot but interesting for the nudibranch as a very own biotope.
Three amigos living on on a spanish dancer while a nightdive in Amed/Bali : Nico, the belgian manager of Baliku divecenter, located right in front of the Japanese wreck in Amed/Bali (ie. a long way) asked me what I would like to see, I told him immediately I have been waiting for long to photo an emperor shrimp on a spanish dancer. "
No problem" he replied, "
50% of the spanish dancers down here are hosting a shrimp"... okaaaayy... wait and see.
The first spanish dancer we met was devoid of any shrimp or rider, I saw him smiling as he pointed the second spanish dancer. I noticed the small shrimp riding on top of the nudi, but when I focused more closely, I could also clearly see in my viewfinder a skeleton shrimp hanging on the rhinophore !... and when I viewed the pic on my laptop screen I realized there was a fish larvae as well, completing the three amigos gang.
whenever you're in Bali, don't miss a nightdive at the Japanese wreck in Amed, this is an awesome place for unusual nudis, you don't actually see around Tulamben, Seraya or Padang Bai, such as weird Tambjas, I can't even identify.

...and by the way, I wish you could help me Id this one, same nightdive as above.
My guess is a juvenile Tambja tentaculata.
