Macro Monday: Nudibranch - Halgerda Batangas - Scuba Hank NYC

Nudibranchs are one my favorite creatures to shoot underwater. I find their shape, size and color patterns quite unique. There are over 3,000 species of Nudibranchs.

The Halgerda batangas is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Discodorididae.

This image was captured in the Philippines with a Sealife DC2000 underwater camera.

    I like them too! They have huge ones in The Cook Islands which you have probably seen.

      I haven’t been to the cool island yet. But I have seen some of the larger species in Egypt and Indonesia. They are amazing creatures.

    That is a fabulous creature – I love land slugs so sea slugs are even better.

        They are!! I know I am alone in my love of slugs but we had fab leopard printed ones in Scotland. There were always interesting things in my tomboy pockets – still are…😊

        I had to look up leopard slugs on google. They are extremely handsome slugs. I’ll have to remember to look for them when I go there to dive.
