Blogie, I love your collection!! Can you help me ID this nudi: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/618... ?? Found it in a mangrove channel growing on calcareous algae.
Hahaha! First thing I thought when I saw it was how it might taste if I popped it in my mouth! Looks like candy, no? :D
Aren't these colours supposed to warn potential predators?
Looks delicious to me. :)
Thanks for great pic.
