Spotting of the Day! "The Much-desired flabellina is a colorful gastropod mollusk known as a nudibranch. They store algae in their tissues and live off of the sugars that the algae produces as a result of photosynthesis." http://facebook.com/projectnoah/posts/182034981890915 http://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/142430456778985472
