These Sea Slugs Are Gorgeous
May 18, 2010 by James Bent - 2 Comments
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I use the words “sea slug?” Some slimy, mucus-covered abomination from the depths of the ocean floor, with several eyes, and poisonous secretions? Well. . . you’re kinda close. Just replace the mucus with a few small frills or tendrils, and the poisonous secretions with beautiful, vibrant colors. The truth is, Nudibranches (fancy name for sea slug) are some of the most colorful and visually stunning creatures on Earth. See for yourself.
