Nudibranchs in The Right Blue

Chromodorid nudibranch
Nudibranchs-- also called sea slugs -- are marine gastropod molluscs (snails) that do not have a shell. (The name 'nudibranch' means bare gills.)  Most tropical nudibranchs are small and brightly colored, so they are a popular  subject for underwater macro photography.
