Flabellina affinis. Although I photographed hundreds of them, it is always one of my favourites. She was struggling to hold on to her twig without being swept away by current. A pleasant underwater encounter!_July 2023
(Canon100,1/200,f18,i.200).
I almost always use 100 mm focal. Challenging especially at the beginning but surprising for the sharpness, the mass of colors & the gradualness with which it fades into blur, as for this Cratena of Mediterranean sea.

Trinchesia sp.
wing nudi
Felimare tricolor are quite common in the Mediterranean Sea but difficult to photograph due to their small size. I like the contrast between strong yellow & electric blue that distinguishes this species of nudis_2023

Mating Aeolid Nudibranch - Flabellina affinis
A small,colorful, elegant & sinuous Cratena, tenaciously clinging to a rock, comes towards me resisting the current. I enjoy photographing it looking for the contrast with the intense red of the sponge behind it _2023
(Canon100,1/200,f20,i.200)

Flabellina affinis (pink flabellina) keeping an eye on me. (f/29, 1/160, ISO-100, 27mm, UCL-165). - Erik
During my dives in Goa,sometimes I came across a Flabellina & thought to myself — what an enormous one! And it turned out… it wasn't just 1. It's at times difficult to tell a singular from a mating pair as this photo.
(Canon100,1/250,f25,i.250)

Nudibranch
Mediterranean Cratena. With its colorful shades, it looks like the creation of a talented painter_2023

A close up of a bright red Flabellina (with one of the two orange horns which is shorter, surely bitten by some predator), commonly found in the waters surrounding Goa_2023
