A bit more camouflaged this one. A gem doris nudibranch on pale algal turf. Shades of browns and golds, blending in with the background, but with many raised bumps along its mantle like little embedded gems of blue.
One of a few more subtle palettes among the nudibranchs and slugs still to come! A gem doris. Less flashy with the visuals, still a stunning little nudi. Love this gradient of brown to gold with a splodge of sky blue.

A sea slug crawling over a rock covered in red algae. It is white with a striking pattern of orange blotches all over it, except at the margin. The sides are raised, giving it a rolled-up appearance. #Wildlife #Nature #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro #MacroPhotography

I really want that to be a bizarre spiky fish but I'm pretty sure it is an urchin. Sure moved fast! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 373 part B #ozoceans2020 #visioningcoralsea #MarineLife

I love short depths of field that just get one Tritonia rhinophore in focus. There's so much detail in them. And sometimes, little stowaways like in the first photo.

Watercolor painting of a Common Remora (aka Suckerfish), Remora remora. While they are undeniably ugly, shark suckers are not vampires—they do not feed directly on the host. Instead, they use sharks to lower their energy consumption, since, if they hang on to a shark, they don’t have to swim or hunt for themselves.

Two horned grebes in their grey and white non-breeding plumage with bright red eyes are swimming from left to right on turquoise ocean water.
This pair of Horned Grebes spent the winter eking a living in the tidal waters next to a commercial fishing wharf. Soon they will head inland for the breeding season.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our Social Media Volunteers, we designed a series of 13 informational graphics on the subject of Dolphins! Dolphins are a group of cetaceans belonging to the families Delphinidae, Platanistidae, Iniidae, Pontoporiidae, & Lipotidae families. Dolphins are known for their intelligence, playfulness, agility, & streamlined physiques. The first graphic in this series discusses the anatomy of a dolphin, including their ability to use echolocation. “Dolphins may look like fish, but their bodies are built very differently. Inside, they have lungs instead of gills, which means they must swim to the surface to breathe air through their blowhole. Their bodies are streamlined, with smooth skin and a layer of blubber that helps them stay warm in the ocean. This shape allows them to glide through the water with very little resistance. One of the most important structures inside a dolphin is the melon, a rounded organ in the forehead. The melon helps focus sound waves for echolocation, which dolphins use to “see” underwater. They also have strong muscles along their spine and tail that power their flukes, giving them the speed and agility they’re known for. Dolphins have a simple stomach for storing food and a second chamber for breaking it down. Their teeth are shaped like small cones, perfect for grabbing slippery fish and squid. Instead of chewing, dolphins swallow their food whole. Their internal organs are arranged to help them stay balanced and stable as they swim.”
