EDITORS COMMENTS
Nudibranchia: A Vibrant Underwater Gallery of Sea Slugs This chromolithograph, created by Adolf Glitsch from an original illustration by Ernst Haeckel in 1904, showcases an enchanting collection of Nudibranchia, commonly known as sea slugs. Nudibranchs are marine gastropod mollusks, characterized by their flattened bodies, gills that project from their mantle edges, and absence of a protective outer shell. This unique morphology allows them to move freely and gracefully through their aquatic environments. The intricately detailed image features seven distinct Nudibranchia species: Hermaea bifida (1), Facelina auriculata coronata (2), Dendronotus frondosus (3), Okenia elegans (4), Doto coronata (5), Tritonia hombergii (6), and Ancula gibbosa (7). Each species displays a stunning array of colors and patterns, reflecting their diverse habitats and adaptations. Hermaea bifida, with its discus-shaped body and orange and white markings, is a common sight in the Mediterranean Sea. Facelina auriculata coronata exhibits a crown-like ornamentation on its head, while Dendronotus frondosus boasts a vibrant green coloration and fringed gills. Okenia elegans, a small, transparent species, is often found in shallow waters. Doto coronata and Tritonia hombergii display elaborate color patterns, while Ancula gibbosa is characterized by its spiky projections. This exquisite work of art, a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, invites us to appreciate the wonders of the deep sea and the intricate designs of its inhabitants.
