    About Nudibranchs (Sea slugs)

    Nudibranchs are marine gastropods (snails and slugs) that have lost their shell to evolution; indeed, the name 'nudi' refers to their naked gills. They belong to the order Nudibranchia, and are much loved by scuba divers around the world. Many scuba divers and underwater photographers visually 'collect' them - finding a 'new to me' species is a kind of thrill only nudi lovers really understand!

    Found in a rainbow of colors, shapes and sizes, these soft-bodied ocean gems are found  worldwide and often feed on sponges, anemones, and other invertebrates.
