Photograph nudis in these parts of Arabic Sea is a bit more challenging than elsewhere given the poor visibility. But when you succeed, beautiful colors come out as for this Phidiana m. shotted at the wreck dive site_Goa (Canon100,1/200,f20,i.125)

Photographers love nudis because although they can be small, are slow moving, sometimes stationary which makes them ideal subjects along with the bright, contrasting colours. This is Flabellina of Mediterranean sea_2022

A squat shrimp often called sexy shrimp because of its provocative dance. Their quirky abdominal movements, often in sync with one another, are amusing to observe and can captivate divers for long underwater time!
