Halgerda stricklandi


Pteraeolidia semperi


Phyllidia ocellata
 
A Red Gilled nudi from earlier this year in the Sechelt inlet, BC, Canada. One of my favorites :)
Thank you for sharing! Those are some of the most amazing nudi photos I've seen. Great photos from an obvious great photographer.
 
Glaucus Atlanticus
I found this guy washed up on the beach flats after the recent wild weather. Although not an underwater photo I still thought some members may be interested.

This pelagic Nudibranch swims upside down on the surface, has a penis the size of its whole body, eats blue bottles (Portuguese man o war) and can deliver a sting of its own if touched!
This one was found on the Sunshine Coast QLD Australia

Last Friday I was entertained by this Caloria militaris at a dive site we call "3 Cars" off the east coast of UAE near Kalba.

(been a very long time since I've posted here) Beach dive today in Hollywood. Buddy a nudi hunter.. Oh, that's how to hunt them.! Saw so many different kinds...
 
Tethys fimbria - by far the strangest and largest nudi I've seen and photographed:

Although the whole point of this dive was to look for nudies, I couldn't believe this was a nudie. In fact I had no clue whatsoever what this could have been until I posted it online for ID.

Souda Bay, Chania, Greece. Depth 30m on sandy/muddy bottom, 21oC, length of ~30cm.
 
A few from Hawaii. All but the Halgerda were taken this spring and summer while snorkeling at Kawaihae Harbor on the Big Island.

This is either a Caloria indica or an un-named Caloria species. The authoritative seaslugsofhawaii.com says that C. indica usually has orange-tipped rhinophores and lacks the reddish blotches on the sides seen in this specimen, but it's unclear if this just constitutes two color forms of indica or this is a different species.
