Gallery of nudibranchs!

Check this out: National Geographic nudibranch photo gallery. It's absolutely amazing.

I've seen a couple of nudibranchs underwater, scuba diving in Hawaii. It's neat to see them live and in context, but it being underwater, it's kind of dim and the colors are washed out. Seeing them in optimal photography conditions like this is really cool.

  1. How does one get a sea slug into a macro studio?

    I totally love this one. Have to figure out where I could put a print of that.
