First edition of Monthly Marine Life Nudibranch is a very unique creature that you may find beneath the sea. Nudibranch, according to wikipedia, is a member of Nudibranchia, a group of soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusks which shed their shell after their larval stage. One thing that made me excited to see nudibranch during the dive is their color…
Feeding on Membranipora membranacea. Nudibranchs are a group of sea slugs characterized by having no shell, thus having their gills exposed. The name in latin, nudibranchia means precisely that: nudi (nude, exposed) + branchia (gills). Instead of the protective shell, the nudibranchs use other intricate defense mechanisms and that's one of the reasons they are such an interesting group to study. Not to mention their exquisite appearance. More info about this species: www.seaslugforum.net/find/polyquad hypselodoris.blogspot.com/2008/07/polycera-quadrilineata-...

It is the only species in the genus Glaucus, but is closely related to Glaucilla marginata, another member of the family Glaucidae. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda (unranked): clade Heterobranchia clade Euthyneura clade Nudipleura clade Nudibranchia clade Dexiarchia clade Cladobranchia clade Aeolidida Superfamily: Aeolidioidea Family: Glaucidae Genus: Glaucus Forster, 1777 Species: G. atlanticus Glaucus atlanticus has many common names, including: blue Glaucus, blue sea slug, blue ocean slug, blue dragon and sea lizard. G. atlanticus preys on other larger pelagic organisms: the dangerously venomous Portuguese Man o' War Physalia physalis; the by-the-wind-sailor Velella velella; the blue button Porpita porpita; and the violet snail, Janthina janthina. Occasionally, as in many other nudibranchs, individual Glaucus will cannibalize each other if given the opportunity. G. atlanticus is able to feed on P. physalis due to its immunity to the venomous nematocysts. The blue sea slug will consume the entire organism and appears to select and store the most venomous nematocysts for their own use. The venom is collected in specialized sacs (cnidosacs), on the tip of their cerata, the thin feather-like "fingers" on its body.[1] Because Glaucus stores the venom, it can produce a more powerful and deadly sting than the Man o' War upon which it feeds. With the aid of a gas-filled sac located in its stomach, G. atlanticus is able to stay afloat at the surface. Due to the location of the gas sac the blue sea slug actually floats upside down. The dorsal surface, actually the foot and underside, has either a blue or blue-white coloration. The true dorsal surface is completely silver-grey. This coloration is an example of counter-shading, which helps protect G. atlanticus from predators from below,sides and above. Scientists have often argued over whether G. atlanticus moves on its own or depends on the wind for locomotion. Glaucus is, like most sea slugs, a hermaphrodite, meaning it contains both male and female reproductive organs. After mating, both slugs will produce egg strings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucus_atlanticus
