Tenellia sp
This Aeolid Nudibranch has been mis-identified many times as Cuthona yamasui, with the genus also wrongly placed, and now updated to the genus Tenellia. Tenellia was a small genus until a DNA phylogeny of the former family Tergipedidae resulted in most species of Cuthona being transferred to this genus. This picture is of a yet to be described Tenellia species.
@patty, check out this spot for the Pikachu Nudibranch :p

Yes, @patty, the coral scenes are very colorful and beautiful in the tropical waters.
Yes, will look up the Pokemon Nudibranch and post it :p
I imagine it must be beautiful to dive among those amazing creatures; and do upload the pokemon one, lets see how much it matches what one imagines...
and @patty, there is one Nudibranch called, Pokemon!
Can you imagine that? Would look up my files to post them later :D
Thanks, @patty :)
Lots of colorful Nudibranch in the sea, several thousands of them and mostly very colorful :)
I have been lucky, scuba diving in Philippines where there are lots of them around :)
What a magnificent creature and picture Albert! I would had never imagined such colorful and uneven surfaced creature existed; seems like a wonderful cartoon character for some reason, haha =)
