A slow moving Cratena nudibranch,an ideal subject for photographs along with the bright, contrasting colours_Sicily-2022
(Canon100,1/200,f20,iso100)
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
(Canon100,1/250,f20,iso400)
Many nudibranchs display the bright colours to suggest to predators that they are toxic. This is a technique used also by the Flabellinidae family.In this photo we see two of them found on a wreck a few meters deep_2023
(Canon100,1/250,f20,i.200)
For me nudibranchs-hunting is like collecting stamps..You always want to find new ones for your private collection. This is Thuridilla multimarginata (really very small) photographed in the Aquarium dive site of Havelock Island_Andamans-India_2023
As you can see in this shot, C. peregrina orients head-first, with the head being the end with two orange horns, two white tusks, and two orange eye patches in between_La Formica_2022

"Donut Nudi" - most likely the most colorful doto (Doto Greenamyeri)
The incredible evolution of nudibranchs always surprise me! I would stop and watch them for a long time to photograph them in the right position.. This is the iconic Cratena_La Formica dive site of Casteldaccia_Italy_2022

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
