My first American nudis, dived BHB on Friday and Yellow Brick Road on Saturday

Chromoodoris clenchi

Still to ID this one, but I have convinced myself it is a Tritoniidae sp

To the person who asked how big the nudis are.. generally here in S. Florida, they are under 1". The two that Searcaigh posted are about 1/4" or smaller.

Did get to shoot a monster one, well, for this area of about 3" last week. Still processing photos..

I was probably that person. And the photo above with the fingernail in the shot for reference pretty much says it all. I know you folks have lots of experience at this, but I'm not sure I could clearly see that <1/4" little guy even if I knew what to look for. Do you hunt for these really teeny fellows with your eyes glued to the camera, or do you have super-human eyesight?

In any case, I'm in awe of the photos you all post here - thanks for sharing!

I guess I'm just lucky I can see them.

(though my mask has drop in lenses)

Here is an Imperial found on Maui last month.

Not sure what this one is.

Since nobody else has asked, how did you manage this shot with the reflection?

Did you put the slug on a mirror or what?

Whatever you did it really is stunning
