EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant beauty of a colourful nudibranch, known as Nembrotha rutilans, as it feeds on a hydroid. The image was taken in the mesmerizing underwater world of Halmahera, located in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. In this close-up shot, the intricate details and striking colors of this sea slug are brought to life. Its body showcases an array of vivid hues including shades of blue, purple, and other eye-catching tones that make it truly stand out against its surroundings. The nudibranch's delicate rhinophores can be seen extending from its head, helping it sense its environment and locate food sources. With precision and grace, it delicately grazes on the hydroid with its specialized mouthparts. This photograph not only highlights the aesthetic appeal of these marine creatures but also provides valuable insight into their biology. As part of the mollusca phylum and gastropod class, nudibranchs like Nembrotha rutilans play important roles within marine ecosystems. Thanks to Scubazoo's expertise in capturing stunning underwater imagery combined with Science Photo Library's dedication to showcasing scientific wonders through photography, we are able to appreciate this extraordinary moment frozen in time.
