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'm really impressed with your work sir.. you do show us the underwater world like we were there... photographers like us do not have the chance to shoot underwater but you bring it to us here for free. Awesome work man.. cheers!!

This picture is lovely, I have never seen one before in this part of the country where I stay but from your pics it looks lovely.

Beautiful and impressive shot!

Amazing Photo. I to am a Beginner Photographer. What I mean by Beginner, I have sold any of my photos in a professional manner. Great Job. Look forward to more.

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

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

I really wanna go under water
