Fishion # 7 : Micromelo Undatus, the glimmeriest, sparkliest sea snail ! (unless not, seems the competition on sparkles and glitter is fierce among sea mollusks).

It's not a nudibranch, but a close cousin, i tried to situate it in the taxonomy (hope i didn't make a mistake there). Search its name and revel in its glory !

To post about the miniature melo (Micromelo undatus) may seem a bit odd, as it is not a nudibranch but a closely-related sea snail! Its thinly-calcified shell is easily seen covering half of its back and is patterned with dazzling brown-red lines, a stark contrast to the blue, white-spotted body below. It lives in many tropic waters, whether that be Japan or Florida, and reaches about 3cm in length. It eats polychaete worms, and uses their toxins as its own.

Wavy lined bubble Micromelo undatus #marineexplorer by John Turnbull Via Flickr: This uncommon tropical species is at the southern limit of its range in this pic from Long Reef, Sydney. I found it in the shallow pools of the extensive rock platform. It is known to feed on polychaete worms and incorporate their toxins in its body.

The bubble snail, a rare Australian visitor

The miniature melo snail has a shell that's more decorative than functional

by Becky Crew

Meet Micromelo undatus, otherwise known as the miniature melo.

This elusive sea snail is found throughout the Indo-West Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, including off the coast of the US, South Africa, Japan, Thailand, and in very rare cases, Australia. Just a handful of these special little creatures have been spotted in our waters, taking advantage of the warm and shallow waters surrounding our coastal reefs and soft algal turfs.

They belong to the family Aplustridae, the members of which have been nicknamed 'bubble snails', because they carry tiny bubble-shaped shells atop their brightly coloured flesh. Each species in the family has a white, beige, or pink-coloured shell, and their bodies can be anything from a bright daffodil yellow or a deep, dusky rose to a ghostly blue or dark, spotted green...
