It Takes Two - Nudibranchs

Nudibranchs, or sea slugs, lack shells and are hermaphrodites. They mate via a courtship ritual, aligning bodies for external fertilization. Females lay eggs in jelly capsules, ranging from hundreds to thousands, hatching into larvae and maturing into adu

Nudibranchs are a group of shell-less marine molluscs. They are also known as sea slugs. Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites, meaning that they have both male and female reproductive organs. However, they cannot self-fertilize. Instead, they must mate with another nudibranch. Nudibranch mating typically begins with a courtship ritual. This ritual may involve the nudibranchs circling each other,…

Day 199.

Finally... a dive day. I headed off to see Justine (my chiropractor) to sort my back out in the morning, then came home did some work before moseying down to Matheson Bay mid arvo. I thought about the marine reserve but there was chop, and to be honest, I was craving a trip out to the gullies.

It did not disappoint. There were some great inverts plus a Gem Doris nudibranch - Dendrodoris krusensternii (second to last pic), a Speckled Triplefin - Ruanoho whero (in the first photo... good luck spotting it), and a very young Butterfish - Odax pullus (in the weed in the fourth photo).

I also saw quite a few large sponges (Stelletta conulosa) that look like they are damaged by the heatwave this summer. The large one in the photo however, looks in reasonable condition. I’m continuing to monitor the sponges out at Matheson Island for the University, while they try to figure out what’s making them sick.

Poetry Corner

For Squiddly Diddly, you can't help but picture what explains his having such a fascination as explains his fascination for underwater photography, to begin with.

One which is manifested in a desire to as much keep active post-Bubbleland while concurrently maintaining a fondness for the underwater world and the fascination inherent.

Not to mention putting such fascination and distilling it into a limited-run annual compendium of underwater photography, stories and whimsy intended mainly for close Funtastics, and more.

But when it comes to underwater photography per se, Squiddly manages to enjoy a freedom Bubbleland somehow prevented him from manifesting in large scale, and more.

He's not quite the sort for "cheesecake" shots (unless asked), preferring instead to let Nature pose as it likes to pose with a rare (and rebuilt) first-generation Nikonos underwater camera as still does the job rather well.

Not to mention having contacts with "a small circle of friends" as are, too, into underwater photography with like passion as Squiddly; no wonder his annuals get to have such following among such so entitled.

So, Squiddly, just keep filming away, keep shooting away. The way you handle underwater photography as you do can't help but unwittingly be an inspiration and influence.

Meanwhile ... have you any Hanna-Barbera-inspired poesy that you wish sharing here Sundays?

Chromodoris sp.

Chromodoris is a genus of nudibranchs renowned for their kaleidoscopic colors and eye-catching patterns. Among the many species of this genus, some boast golden rhinophores, further enhancing their striking appearance. These sensory organs located on the nudibranch’s head are used to detect chemical cues in the water. This image was captured off the coast of Puerto Galera in the Philippines.
