These nudis are very common on the docks where I moor my boat. This picture has the saturation punched up, but still fails to convey just how trippy they, and most other nudibranchs, look in person. The iridescence in the rhinophores and cerata is something that can be tricky to capture with imaging. Here is a different angle of the same species.

Like this one from Red Sea, 2006! Made by my mom :)

I look at things like this, on our own planet, and my mind boggles at the thought of what alien species might look like
