orange nudibranch with black spots
The colour and patterns on nudibranchs never ceases to amaze

A beautiful orange nudibranch with black spots with white ring around them.

  • Nudibranchs are often casually called "sea slugs", a non-scientific term which has led some people to assume that every sea slug is a nudibranch
  • Nudibranchs occur worldwide
  • Nudibranchs live at virtually all depths of salt water, but reach their greatest size and variation in warm, shallow water.
  • They vary in adult size from 20 to 600 mm.
  • Nudibranchs are hermaphroditic, and thus have a set of reproductive organs for both genders, but they can rarely fertilize themselves.
