r/nudibranch

(Tambja verconis)

Spring Beach, Orford, Tasmania, Australia.

A ceramic nudibranch based on the illustrations painted by the Japanese artist Kumataro Ito. Chief illustrator for the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries survey of the aquatic resources of the Philippine Islands (1907 – 1910).

Mine is in porcelain with underglaze coated in a clear crackle.

Local SoCal nudi, would likely be the state Nudibranch if we had one.

Cool little guy

Real tiny guys. The first is a rabbit dorid, then two spotted triophas, a Janna's dorid, and lastly, two clown dorids.

Identification - Found in Swan River, Western Australia

Was wondering if anyone had a better idea on identification than me.

Had some community feedback/contribution
- consensus being baeolidia moebii
- better/clearer photos of identifying features

4th slide as reference photo for B. moebii

Swan River is brackish in the wintertime (when found) but changes to ocean salinity in the summertime

First two are opalescent nudibranchs, then two sorcerer's dorids, a San Diego dorid, a thick-horned nudibranch, and lastly a Monterey dorid. Photos were taken with an Olympus Tough TG7.
