Thuridilla hopei_October 2024
(Canon EF100,1/200,f14,iso100)
Thuridilla hopei. Often mistaken for a nudibranch, it is a sacoglossal opisthobranch without dorsal appendages. It can only be spotted with a keen eye, on the rocky seabed a few meters deep. Rarely exceeds 2cm in length.

( CanonEF100, 1/200,f18, iso100)
Goniobranchus hintuanensis.The difficulty is to stay lower than it so as not to lose depth of field. As soon as you touch the muddy bottom, a fine dust rises up and everything disappears. But still fun!_Jan 2024

Bavosa Cervina( Parablennius incognitus)_Oct 2023
(Canon EF100,1/200,f8,iso100)
We often don't see them, but a thousand eyes watch us while we swim or dive with our sophisticated equipment that makes lots of bubbles. Like this friendly hermit crab which I found on a rock a few meters deep.
(Canon EF100, 1/200, f14,iso100)
