My previous spotting of this nudibranch: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/787...
I thought I'd share these photos of a pair of nudibranchs that I spotted at about 70 feet (dive site: Punk Rock, Samal Island). Looks like they were out on a date and making out!!

Thanks for the kind words, Gordon. Happy to be of help! :)
Just wanted to mention that I am so enjoying your wonderful photography. I've only tried snorkeling on reefs and only on one occasion--Minnesota is just about as far from an ocean as one can get in North America. Unfortunately, we had had high winds and big waves the previous week so the water was unusually murky and cold. There were also some were some large sharks in the area and this normally landlocked hiker/canoeist thought it best not to spend too much time in the water where one could barely see your hand at arm's length. As a result, the experience was a total washout (no pun intended)....grin. I'll just have to look at your page and dream about another snorkeling trip.
Hi Heather, thanks very much for your kind words! Well, it gets quite turbid here too. But I got great uw photography mentors here, so I've learned how to deal with bad viz when it happens. But for this series, yes, the water was really clear. :)
You have such clear underwater photos. Is the water that clear there? Wow.
Hi Christine, thanks for your comment. As far as I know, nudibranchs possess vivid colors as a means to ward off potential predators.
love 'em. Does their colour have any known significance?
They are magnificent!
Yeah it does look romantic, doesn't it? ;)
How romantic :]
