This sea slug superficially resembles a nudibranch, YET it does NOT belong to that suborder of gastropods. Instead it is a member of the closely related the "sap-sucking" seaslug * * * * * * * #dive #buceo #plongée #NudiPics #water #underwater #underwaterlife #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #underwaterpics #underwaterphotographer #underwaterworld #uwlife #uwpics #uwphotography #critters #sealovers #sea #ocean #diving #ilovediving #ssi #sdidivers #sditdi #divemag #divermag #dive #nudibranch #nudi #seaslugs #olympusunderwater

Photo selected by our reviewer @salvadilauro Featured photographer @ecology.upclose Frosted Nudibranch (Dirona albolineata). If you look closely you can see its little mouth wreaking havoc on a hydroid of some kind. Which despite looking like seaweed, its actually an animal related to jellyfish, you can see tiny tentacles on the left side if you look closely. Many nudibranchs can "steal" the stinging cells (nematocysts) of their cnidarian prey like hydroids or anemones, which they store in the cerata on their back to sting and ward off predators. This Frosted Nudibranch does not have that ability despite looking like it could. Its defence is shedding the large cerata to distract predators. like how a lizard sheds it tail. #olympusunderwater #seaslug #nudibranch #reefporn #reeftank #reefaquarium #ourworldunderwater #underwaterphotography #underwater #olympus #followforfollowback #insta

Photo selected by our reviewer @salvadilauro • featured artist @matt_testoni_photography A very grumpy looking Anemone Fish pokes its head out of its anemone home in the waters of Komodo Island, Indonesia. Anemone Fish are such interesting characters to watch go about their day. Usually they will move swiftly around, dodging in and out of the Anemone. This individual however simply decided to sit still and poke its head out at me, sort of like a grumpy person looking out their bedroom windows. - - - #anemone #anemonefish #komodo #komodomarinepark #nemo #findingnemo #grumpyfish #bbcearth #earthcapture #yourshotphotographer #natgeo #ausgeo #komodoisland #uwphotography #uwphotographer #oceangram #underthesea #underthesea _perfection #kings _underwater #underthesea _perfection #discoverocean #scubadiving #underwaterphotos #scubagram #divephotoguide #scubadivingmag #isotta _underwater_housings #breakfree _olympus #saveouroceans #olympus _au #olympusunderwater
