3 PHOTOS ABOUT... Nudibranch

Nudibranchs are marine animals that are nicknamed "sea slugs" because of their resemblance to their terrestrial hoolochs but they are not the same family of animals. They are part of the large family of gastropods and opistobranch family.

"Nudibranches" is the name we give them because their gills are nude.
Their gills are therefore located outside their body, which is not common. It is about this organ in the shape of "flower" which is on the back of certain species (See on 2nd photo).

Underwater photographers love taking pictures because of the surprising colors they can take. These colors are generally very bright which is synonymous with poison in nature. This therefore repels predators!

I offer you three nudibranchs photographed this week in Cape Verde
