Gas Flame Nudibranch

Yes, the common name of this Bonisa nakaza Nudibranch is Gas Flame!

I was not expecting to see any Nudibranch of small stuff during this dive/trip as we were diving for the Seven Gills Sharks and Fur Seals. I didn't had the opportunity to take more or better picture of this Nudibranch as the dive guide was moving away and not waiting since the objective of the dive was to look for the big stuff.

    It looks fine given how difficult it must be to capture it at all. Posted 8 years ago

      Its too over-exposed on the face :(
      I was setting my light for bigger animals several meters away, not something small and close-up. Posted 8 years ago
