Miniature Melo

This Miniature Melo - Micromelo undata is fondly called Bubble Snail, they are considered Snails because they still have the shell. They are considered 'uncommon' and from my personal experience, usually only sees them at certain period of the year and then you don't see them anymore for the rest of the year. When you see them, it is possible to see them in the same small area in big numbers

your latest nudibranches are awesome - they look like they've got their own internal neon lighting. Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago
