Nudis

Nudibranchs (and other sea slugs) I have seen while diving in Perth.

I have built a new site: nudi.app. The new site lets you filter the thumbnails by family, genus, and colour! This page will remain up until I have transferred all species over from here to here.

Baeolidia australis

World Register of Marine Species | Encyclopedia of Life | Wikipedia

Baeolidia australis is distinguished from Baeolidia moebii by having a thin orange sub-apical band above a broad blue band on each ceras, which is never present in Baeolidia moebii. Baeolidia australis looks bluish whereas Baeolidia moebii is more yellow or brown. The body of Baeolidia australis also seems to have a brown and white reticulate pattern that is not found in Baeolidia moebii.
