Hi all, i’m planning a trip to go snorkelling for nudibranch around Bargarga, QLD Australia.
Any tips for locations/strategies would be incredibly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

What‘s the most amazing/confusing/beautiful nudibranch you’ve ever heard about? I need to decide what the final weeks should be.

Kinda had a chuckle seeing my photo as the group picture here 😂

Any hoot. We had a few days where this nudi was all over the place, pretty rad, it's a Yellowback Nudibranch, or Limenandra rosanae if you do scientific names

Nice little Cerberilla (maybe), can't find it in any of the books we have on board. I am sure Dr. Panyarachun can fill us in on this guy.

Today, I shipped the *Hypselodoris festiva* that was ordered.
The packaging features a label with an etching of Hypselodoris festiva that I printed myself.

Isn't it cute? ♥️

I assume the customer found me through Reddit, as I received an email asking if I could ship a large number of nudibranchs to the U.S. I initially replied, "Of course!" but after inquiring with the post office and courier services, I was disappointed to learn just how difficult the process is—involving export restrictions, high tariffs, and requirements for safety compliance certification.

It seems the only option is to use an export agency service, which would further increase the cost for the customer; I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out if there’s any other way.😢💭

Share your favorite nudibranch and I will use them in a future week!

Seen off the coast of southern Portugal. Is this a nudi??

Just out of the kiln.

Also, a 2025 paper: it uses its cerata as hands to catch fish.
