Saw a new to me nudibranch, Cumanotus sp. ! It was swimming around in the watercolumn. So cute.

Would you still love me if I was a worm?

I take portraits of marine animals... you can get archival quality prints of these ones here and here

These are Nereid worms, a type of segmented marine worm. They spend most of their life in the mud, but when it is time to spawn, their bodies transform into these incredible swimming epitokes. If you want more info about these critters, let me know!
