When I started taking pictures underwater, these pretty little sea slugs (much sexier than our gray and slobbery land slugs) became my favorite subject.

Their incredible palette of colors and patterns, their delicate tuft of jagged gills are a treat for macro lovers. But you need to have a good eye to spot them, on the wall of a reef or between two clumps of coral...

Some nudibranchs are tiny, smaller than the nail of a little finger. Others are "giants" that can reach 10 to 15 centimeters. On average, they are about the same size as land slugs. But they are so much more photogenic !!!
