I was contemplating them too when I saw them at blue world. Shanon told me there sponge eaters. I couldn't justify buying them since I bought all my sponge. I would have lost on both ends. Once they ate the sponge and again when they starved. 😞

pix taken on dives in Peurto Vallarta, Mexico.
 
Not really worthy of an actual entry since they are slightly out of focus but in my defence the current was strong that day and it was hard to keep still.:wink:
In this top picture this nudibranche is at least 4 inches long.

Hello,

Sorry have been super tied up and will be so for the rest of the week, thus the delay in posting this up in as a poll thread.

Loads of awesome images so far. Will try to get the images all sorted out over weekend.
Meanwhile, keep submitting if you haven't done so already.

Titus
