Resharing for a belated #SeaSlugDay
Rootie the sea slug sitting on some hay bales, a sign saying “wagon corral” sitting behind her.
As #SeaSlugDay is coming to a close, one more Rootie picture and a note to follow @slugsandwich.bsky.social if you want to see more stuffed sea slug shenanigans!

It’s #SeaSlugDay so obligatory slugposting time.
(Also yet another reminder that @pikaole.bsky.social makes amazingly cute art and you should follow them.)
A head-on view of a black sea slug with bright markings. It has green lines on its body and bright orange gills, rhinopores and tentacles #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife #Nature
Bonus #SeaSlugDay post: Nembrotha kubaryana, which is probably my favourite nudibranch. Pic from Lembeh.

A white nudibranch; the only colour on it is a yellow margin on the mantle. It is crawling over coral rubble. #Nature #Wildlife #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro #WildlifePhotograpy #NaturePhotography
Apparently today is #SeaSlugDay! This nudibranch is (I think) Ardeadoris egretta. Pic from Anilao.

Rootie sitting in a bin of gourds marked as “gremlins”, for $1 each.
Rootie sitting on a mini picnic table with a pumpkin.
Rootie poking her face through a ghost thing where you stick your face in it for a picture (I can’t remember what they’re called)
Hey hey it’s #SeaSlugDay!
Of course Rootie ain’t going to pass up the opportunity to show off.

Sharing my nudibranch painting!
#SeaSlugDay
An orange cladobranch nudibranch with white tips on rhinophores and tentacles. The slug has a white stripe on the body and some blue dots at the tip of the cerata. It is sitting on an orange sponge.
A dorid nudibranch sea slug. The slug has a cream yellow mantle skirt with a thin black edge. The foot is white. The gills, center of the slug and rhinophores are orange. There is a wavy black line around the orange part of the center of the slug's body.
A very colorful dorid nudibranch. The slug has a brown body with orange stripes. The gills and rhinophores are bright orange. There are also some yellow and blue areas around the head and tail.
An adorable white dorid nudibranch. The slug has black rhinophores and yellow spots that vary in size on the dorsal part of the body. The gills are white with black trim.
Some lovely nudibranchs for #seaslugday. These photos are from this summer when I was scuba diving in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. #invertebrates 🦑
Today is #SeaSlugDay! Share your slugs!
Here's one of my nudibranch watercolor paintings in honor of this glorious day.
