WOW - that's a fabulous pic of the gold-lace nudibranch! Incredible detail. I'm drooling here.

Excellent! I like how you captured the transluscence of the Gold Lace nudi. We have a similar one in Saipan, but the "fronds" (don't know the marine biology term for it) are a different color -- pinkish instead of black and white. Probably same family.

Very nice...we get those first fish (or something very similar at least), but I don't have my book to tell me what we call them! I'll have to try to find one next time I am out and then look him up.

The goldlace is lovely...I really like the lighting on this one - a bit different to normal! Did you do something different or was it just one of those shots?

marpacifica...we get a very similar one here too, but without the white on the rhinophores & gills and not as much orange detail...
