Purple Nudibranch
Hypselodoris bullocki
-5.43333, 123.767
Field Notes
Description:
A nudibranch (sea slug) with a very variable appearance, can range from very pale purple to almost blue. They are hermaphrodites like all nudibranchs, but are not able to fertilise themselves to must pair up - perhaps what's going on in this photo?
Habitat:
Coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific
Notes:
I was very happy to come across these beautiful nudibranchs. I found them at a fairly impacted site, perhaps they enjoyed all the extra suspended particles...!
