It's always fun to review my macro shots because they often reveal more than I saw with my eyes. In this case, I was after the two Placida dendritica slugs but also captured a couple skeleton shrimp, a tiny snail, and a brown flatworm all in this tiny area. So fun!

This is Aeolidia papillosa, commonly known as the Shag-Rug nudibranch. These nudibranchs are relatively large (this one was probably 3 inches long) and prey upon anemones.

This was a fun conversation that we serendipitously ended up recording on #SeaSlug Day! Dr. Michael Middlebrooks shared his research on photosynthetic sea slugs, challenges he has overcome in #science, the early pivot to #biology that changed the trajectory of his life and career, lab traditions, career advice, and more!

On the right side of the image, the text reads, "Episode 791 featuring Dr. Michael Middlebrooks". The podcast cover art is pictured below.

Behold the dazzling colors of the black-and-gold sapsucking slug. This sea slug secretes an unappetizing mucus to dissuade predators & can drop its colorful cerata, or leaf-like outgrowths, to create a distraction. This species is found in the western Indian and Pacific Oceans.

I found this nudibranch (Aeolidia papillosa) on a dive at the UNH Research Pier in New Castle, New Hampshire. They prey on various Cnidaria species like pink hydroids and frilled nudibranches. They are tricky to photograph as they blend into their surroundings, but the snoot really helped to separate this one from its surroundings.

Subject: Shag Rug Nudibranch (Aeolidia Papillosa). A mottled tan and brown nudibranch facing the camera with mouth tendrils out to the side and rhinophores sticking straight up. The numerous protrusions on the back are sticking out in all directions. The nudibranch is moving through some silty seaweed with a darkened background.
