Ningaloo - sticky outy bits

[alcina]

There are always a bunch of different nudis and slugs on our dives and the weekend was no exception. One of my buds even found two new ones we haven't seen before! I only got to see one of them and I haven't had a chance to process his ID shot yet, but I've done these:

Janolus sp - we aren't sure if this is the same species as we have seen before or a new one. This one has many more white markings than the others we've seen.

Our new mooring ropes are becoming home to a wide variety of critters including at least three sea hare type guys. Shooting on a moving mooring rope, close to the surface, and in a bit of current is not the easiest nor most graceful thing! Glad we were all shooting macro so there's no evidence of my contortions!

Stylocheilus citrinus - that's too hard to remember so we call them Bubble Butts :D

I love the bubble butt - great little blue spots and sooo sharp.

Amazing stuff, Kris! I like both of them. I guess, I'll have to make a trip there, one of these days. ;)

Excellent shots. I have no idea what those are.. for me they all are nudis :D That's one killer shot of a bubble and if it was taken in a surge.. clap clap!!
