This Nudibranch - Miamira alleni is a popular subject of underwater photographer especially those into macro photography and nudibranch. This was a fairly large sized specimen, around 8-9 cm and long towering cerata, which makes them looks like soft corals.

The Miamira alleni

''Miamira alleni'' is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. This species is found in shallow reefs in Southeast Asia. ''M. alleni'' has not been observed eating, but it is likely that it consumes sponges, like other ''Miamira '' species.
