19/08/2022 Création de sujet : What are they?

Hi,

These strange objects were growing on a vertical rock shelf at 1m depth in low light. They seem to be animals, but the photo is not very good. I seem to see tentacles growing out of each green square. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello,

I found this 1cm nudibranch about 1m below the surface on a vertical rock face. I've seen Felimida britoi. Felimida luteorosea and Elysia timida here, but this is a new one to me. Any ideas please? Thank you.

Hello,

I originally thought this was a young Pinctada radiata. On processing photos I saw something that actually looks like a nudibranch, especially the "head' on the right, and some hairs on the "neck". Can anyone solve the mystery please? Thank you

I found what I thought was an alga growing at 0.5m depth. From the photo I realise it's an animal, though not sure which. Any ideas please? Thank you.

Does anyone know what this could be please? The transparent jelly was very soft but the bluish crescent was more like rubber. Any ideas? Thank you.

18/08/2020 Création de sujet : What is this?

Hi,

Could anyone tell me what this is? Found next to Botrylloides leachii, it looks like another colonial tunicate because I can see a tunic between the white parts. Any help is appreciated.

21/07/2020 Création de sujet : What is this?

Can anyone help me identify the bluish-purple species in the middle of the photo please? At first I thought it as an alga but seeing the photo now I think it's a colonial animal. Thank you.

19/09/2019 Création de sujet : Which Berthella?

Hi,

Does anyone know if this is Berthella aurantiaca? It was so small I could not see any features to distinguish it from Berthellina edwardsii. Thank you very much.
