Dragon Nudibranch

Bornella anguilla

Description:

Dragons do exist, in the world of Nudibranch. This small Nudibranch, around 3 cm in length looks like a 'Chinese Dragon'. Body is white in colour with mosaic patterns of yellow, orange and black. This Nudibranch also has eyes, the tiny black spot below the Rhinopores. They are also a swimming Nudibranch by arching their body sideways, they can swim for short distances. This is one of my favourite Nudibranch from Malapascua and each trip I go there, will make a point to look for them. It is always found at a shallow part of Gato Island, usually less than 5 meters depth, among its food souce; hydroids. In this occasion, I was able to capture the Nudibranch swimming.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
