  1. Sensational colouration/markings. What a classy sea slug you have spotted and photographed here. I can't stop looking at it - there's a vaguely hypnotic effect going on! Posted 6 years ago
    1. Thank you for liking it..they also swivel slowly with the current so this also adds to hypnotic effect :-) Posted 6 years ago
    2. Should you be interested in an overdose :)
