Just posted this on the 'CritterID' forum but possibly someone can help here. I think they are some type of sea-hare.

They appeared in 'my' lagoon in Laamu Atoll. Some had coatings of sand which makes me think they burrow. They seemed to feed on algae growing on the sea-grass.

Looks like a Pleurobranchus of sorts
 
Saw several of these on some shore dives on coast of Greece (Halkidiki).

Anilao and SoCal seem to produce the most Nudi shots by far.

Interesting to have Greece show up, I have had a sneaking suspicion that the Mediterranean could be good for Nudibranchs. Terifa Spain where the Med and Atlantic meet had tons of Nudis the one day I dove there.

Here is a Horned Aeolid (Hermissenda crassicornis) from San Clemente SoCal

Anilao is basically Ground Zero for nudibranchs
 
Here are some from the east coast of UAE <anip>
Just stumbled upon this thread and my first thought was if you knew about it or not. :)


Dipping my fin in this thread, and trying not to have camera envy. Shoot with an older Oly sp-350, no extra macro lenses or anything yet.. And another BHB troll here. This one is my favorite so far.
Originally didn't know the name... so it became a Jennichus Babiloionus :D
Cerberilla sp. 7

Too small to figure out if it was live or not.. hoping I didn't injure it.. a doto of some sort.
