“Look closely at the nudis. Get lost in their shapes and colours and see what images your mind produces. And for a moment, admire the natural wonders that our ocean produces, but are so rarely seen.”

Nudibranchs, like land slugs and snails, emit slime as they move.  They can emit chemicals into their slime to communicate with other nudibranchs, either to inform them of danger from predators; or to tell them where they are so that they can mate.

They don't bite you, emit a foul odor, sneak up behind you, or otherwise ruin your day. Plus, when you see a variety you haven't seen or recognized before, you may be revealing a new species so make sure you have your camera to hand!
