#Sea slug Saturday

[kazenorth]

Behold! One of my largest projects to date! I'm hoping to have these as textured prints soon.

My love for nudibranchs knows no bounds 🌊 Also the top text has been changed to "Sea Slugs" as I was informed that a few of these are not a part of that order at all, but still fall under the "Sea Slug" umbrella!

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

Happy sea slug Saturday! (Ignore that I sent this on flatworm Friday, I didn't wanna forget)

Fear not, for I have waited until sea slug Saturday to answer! And hark! I have brought a slug for us to observe!

The moon-headed sidegill slug. Enjoy.

My internal dialogue has simply been a chant of 'sea slug in a wheelchair'.
