Goniobranchus kuniei
@uwlunatic
Bali - spotted at the Liberty Wreck during a night dive
Fun Fact: Goniobranchus kuniei has a pattern of blue spots with pale blue haloes on a creamy mantle. There is a double border to the mantle of purple and blue. The length of the body reaches 40 mm. The species Goniobranchus tritos and Goniobranchus geminus have similar colour patterns. This species likes waters that are between 21 and 26 degrees Celsius and is often found between 5 and 40 meters.

Baeolidia moebii ⭐️
@gym_xzx
Fun Fact: This species has densely papillate rhinophores and extensive ramifications of the digestive gland in its notum, foot, rhinophores and cephalic tentacles. The cerata are moderately to greatly inflated (particularly in young animals) and they usually have iridescent-blue and/or orange subapical bands. The body and cerata are splotched with white. The ramifications of the digestive gland distinguish it from Baeolidia salaamica.

Mexichromis katalexis
@gym_xzx
Tulamben
Fun Fact: Mexichromis katalexis is often confused with the Mexichromis multituberculata (Baba, 1989), which also has conical, pointed, purple-tipped papillae on the dorsum, but the mantle edged with purple patches. The katalexis has orange patches along the mantle. They are often seen together.

Hypselodoris apolegma
@pyuch
Anilao, Philippines
Fun Fact: Recent phylogenetic data confirm the validity of the species and suggest a sister species relationship between Hypselodoris apolegma and Hypselodoris bullockii.

On my last dive in Raja Ampat, I was hunting for pygmy seahorses in a large sea fan when this nudi caught my eye on a nearby coral head so I decided to snap a few quick pics.

The second Thecacera sp. that I managed to see in Raja Ampat. I always thought these nudis looked quite strange and weirdly shaped compared to the more "traditional" nudis. But that's why nudibranchs are so amazing, so many different species, shapes, sizes and colours #gottacatchemall (Thecacera picta)

Tyrannodoris luteolineata
@cr_resch
Okinawa, Japan
Fun Fact: Tyrannodoris luteolineata is quite large in comparison to most other sea-slugs. It is black, with yellow lines running lengthwise down the body. It can be distinguished from other similar-looking nudibranchs by the light green patches on the top of the head between its rhinophores. It is a fast-moving species.
