Not your Ordinary Slug

The word nudibranch makes people laugh and snicker but its the scientific name for sea slugs. In my part of the world, slugs on land aren't pretty and are generally deemed a nuisance. My mom despised them because they ate her vegetable garden.

Underwater its completely different. Sea Slugs come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Please rave about how beautiful they are and how stunning the images they take of them.

Let me introduce you to one of those.

Opalescent Horned Aeolid-1.jpg

This stunning little creature is an Opalescent Nudibranch. This particular slug only grows to a few inches in length but its colour sure stands out on the reef. These creatures are slow moving so capturing a great images is quite easy, get close and fame your images to capture the slugs best side.

Thanks for reading.

Beautiful. The colors look stunning.

I do not know a lot about underwater photography..do you use special weather sealed equipment?? And use special lenses???

I can't wait for a chance to actually see these beautiful sort of creatures for real.

I really wanna go under water

How do you find all these cool sea creatures?

That's so cool. Any colorful! It almost looks like it has orange-tipped feathers around its body. Sea creatures are so unique. Thanks, Scott!

underwater seems like a complete dif world so colorfull and bright just love watching such close up images !

Wow, what a beautiful animal!

Wow they are really pretty. The colors is captivating. Thanks to technology, we are able to see the beauty of creatures inside the see as if we were there with them. Nice one scott

Great Capture!
The colors are so vibrant and calming.
Thanks for sharing this awesome post & Steem On :)

Best content, please follow back

Aliens live underwater now i'm sure. I'm not into colors but the shape, the perfection of their shapes. They're like geometrically designed on a paper, without a mistake. Beatuiful.

The sea slug looks crazy!! haha. Did you touch it?

That is one freaky looking creature! I actually never thought I'd say this... but that's a really cool slug! So colourful.

So beautiful! Nice photo, @scottdphoto !! 😊

This is may be for the first time that i am seeing a underwater photography.

Lovely photo! This slug has some amazing bright /warm colors!

That has to be one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. Unbelievable, thanks for sharing! It looks like an alien, lol, nature is so amazing!

hello hello my good friend today I was able to read your post about, the marine slugs are pretty loaded with bright colors which make it look like a marine background decoration. The picture is very good.

Not being a diver, I've only had the opportunity to photograph one nudibranch in the intertidal zone here in Tasmania. It was not as nice as that one though. Beautiful find and terrific shot!

really interesting

Bellos colores, imagen impresionante, saludos

Wow amazing shot its beautiful.

Wuaoooo no conocía que existiera algo asi con vida impresionante

great job with this shot! Nudibranch are so small (at least the ones I've come across). You really have to develop an eye to find them

I am excited to see your page and thrilled to see your Ocean photographs :)
I have been enjoying researching and writing about Creatures of the Deep (in steemit), what would it take if I would like to use a photo of yours?
I love the clarity and the intensity of the colors underwater :)
Wishing you the best
Greetings from Crete, Greece
