Description
It doesn't always need to be big to be beautiful! Even undersea there are small animals/things that catches my eye... ok, well sometimes they are hard to find. And nudibranches are like that!
This one I spotted at Thistlegorm. It was about 6cm long.
Also it may happen that while looking for nudibranches you can miss a Napoleon wrasse swimming 5cm of below you... like happened to me at Elphinstone.

Thanks for cathing this one with me!

Really colourful seaslug you caught, and that wrasse might have used you in the same way they use overhangs and sometimes slow moving boats to keep themselevs partially shielded from larger threats.
