Magnifa Nudibranch

Description:

Also known as Magnifa Sea Slug and Magnificent Chromodoris; also referred to as Chromodoris magnifa. It's easy to mistake this nudibranch for other chromodorids, such as C. colemani. They feed on hydroids, coral, sponges and anemones, and grow to a length of about 5.5cm. Depth - 2-30m

Habitat:

Found singly or in pairs on coral and rocky reefs amongst sand and rubble areas, at depths of 2 to 30m. Widespread in the Indo-Pacific region.

Notes:

This series actually shows two animals, which were close to each other when I spotted them at a depth of about 65 feet. Dive site: San Juan Reef, off the western coast of Samal Island.
