HahaaaScott, ...nudis like to be in places with current!..I know how hard it is to get a shot of them sometimes. One must be a diver photographer to appreciate how difficult is to make these pictures sometimes :-) Congratulations on the SOTD!

Thanks, wish there wasnt as much current so I could have got some better shots

Congrats Scott, your awesome capture has earned you another Spotting of the Day! This amazing Technicolor organism is a nudibranch, a soft-bodied, carnivorous, marine gastropod.
