Thecacera - Incredible nudibranch


Yes, more critter time.

This time we are looking at the Thecacera, and very weird and gorgeous Nudibranch. It has two unusual "blobs" that are like rabbit ears, only MUCH larger (nearly as large as body) that just flap and flop in the currents

It has the coolest markings and is not camouflaged at all. It is also one of the fastest nudi's we've seen.

There is only one good picture of these that we've seen - on the back cover of the Debilius Nudibranch book.

This photo is from Amanda - Thanks!!!!
