Not your normal land slug

Opalescent Nudibranch-1.jpg

These colourful little creatures are Opalescent Nudibranchs and this one is scouring this Pink Soft Coral for any morsel of food. Only growing to about 2 cm. long, their bright colours are a stark contrast to their land bound cousins.

Thanks for reading.

Great shot! Where did you take this shot?

Browning Wall, Port Hardy British Columbia Canada. Thanks for checkin it out.

This is B.C. ? Great shot! I had no idea these well dressed critters were hanging out. Vancouver is my home town but we moved to California when i was a kid so i haven't done much swimming there...haha, especially in a full wetsuit with a water camera! Thank you for getting in that cool water and getting the shot for us warmer water folks!

Thanks. I will check out the location by time. I am fascinated by underwater photography.

Wow, I've got to learn how to scuba dive. I love snorkeling in the tropics, but I never really knew there was this beauty right here in Canada!

Wow! I'm only a year into diving and I'm trying hard to study nudibranchs! I just love these photos. These guys may be cute and colorful but those hairy strands on its back would sting, sting, sting!
