Nudibranch (Nembrotha lineolata) from Gato Island, The Philippines

[Marriard]

I love the Nembrotha/Tamja family of Nudibranchs - they have the cutest little 'faces' and regularly display bright bold colorations or patterns.

This one was no exception - strong lines and colors - although he wouldn't look directly at me as I would have liked.

It was a small speciman, but I had my 105mm lens on as I was shooting Pygmy Sea Horses earlier in the dive, so that worked out. F22, 1/90, ASA100, Dual Inon Strobes -2/-2.

Image was taken on the coral reef that surrounds Gato Island not far from Malapascua, The Philippines.

Enjoy,
M

Heh, Gummy Nudibranchs. Probably would sell, but hard to get the name into circulation!

How about "Gummy Sea Slugs"

Nice Photo!
