  • Nudibranchs lay chacteristic patterns of eggs on rocks or the sea bed. This many lobed ceratosoma (Ceratosoma tenue) is layinga spiral of red eggs on a small rock

  • Geometric Chromodoris (Chromodoris geometries) moving across its substrate of a piece of fallen timber. In common with many nudibranchs, this Chromodoris feeds on hydroids, coral, sponges and anemones. As it moves, its mantle "waves" up and down.

  • A crocodile flathead (Cymbacephalus beauforti) keeps an eye on its surroundings. Their large eyes are explained by the fact that they are mostly nocturnal. Lembeh Straits, Indonesia.

  • Emperor shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) catching a ride on a many lobed ceratasoma nudibranch (Ceratosoma tenue). These shrimps seem to live in a commensal relationship with larger nudibranchs or sea slugs, picking up detritus from the sea floor as their hosts move along it.

  • A super macro image of the mouth parts of a coleman shrimp ( Periclimenes colemani) in its fire urchin (Asthenosoma varium) home.<br />
Coleman shrimps are only found on fire urchins and live in an obligate symbiosis with their host. They feed on the soft tube feet and tentacles of the sea urchin, which does not seem to be severely harmed. The venomous spines of the urchin provide an excellent defense from any would be predators too.

  • A harlequin shrimp (Hymenocera picts) in its coral home in the Lembeh Straits, Indonesia. They are found at coral reefs in the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans and can reach about 5 centimetres  in length, live in pairs and feed exclusively on starfish, including crown-of-thorns (Acanthaster) starfish. It does seem to prefer smaller, more sedentary starfish, but as these generally are not sufficiently numerous for its needs, it commonly will attack Acanthaster, both reducing its consumption of coral while under attack, and killing it within a few days.<br />

  • Far from the idyllic "Nemo" life in a host anemon, within a group of clownfish, there is a strict hierarchy of dominance. The largest and most aggressive female is found at the top. Only two clownfish, a male and a female, in a group reproduce through external fertilization. The clownfish are hermaphrodites, meaning that they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. If the female clownfish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males would become a female. The rest of the remaining males will move up a rank on the hierarchy.

Nudibranchs or sea slugs come in an amazing variety of colors and shapes making their terrestrial namesakes seem very drab.
