I can't fathom, (OK, bad pun intended,) what it takes to create a shot like this, so I'll just say "Wow, that's fantastic," and leave it at that.

Thanks all, Mike, yep, nudibranches are mostly toxic, they store toxins from their food, their colours are the warning, there are probably some that just use the colours without being all that toxic.

A "wow" shot. Such amazing colors and shapes. Hard to imagine such creatures exist- thanks for the enlightenment.

Beautiful crisp shot of these Nudis. Maybe some darkening to the BG to make them pop a bit more?
