Bubbly Dendrodoris Nudibranch
We haven’t yet identified all the sea slugs that we’ve found. Nudibranchs are the most common Order of sea slug – Nudi (French) means ‘lung’ and ‘branch’ (French, Latin – branchia) means gill (lung). Their gills are situated on the posterior sides of the body. Hence the name ‘naked lung’.
This one is a Bubbly Dendrodoris Nudibranch, and it is one of Sydney's rarest. It's one of our favourites - the Bubbly Seaslug as we like to call it.
