Hypselodoris bullocki

Hypselodoris bullocki - Nudibranch (literally naked lung in Latin)

 

Date: April 29, 2018

 

Sunabe Seawall

 

Chatan-cho

 

Okinawa Prefecture

 

Japan

 

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

A prolific and reliably seen nudibranch, I am always greeted by them on my dives. They range in size from quite small to large. They have a tendenc to hold on with the caudal section (rear end) of their body and try to climb/find purchase with their rostral end (front part). This one was spotted on the way to the exit after 95 minutes at depth with 500psi, which any diver knows is when you see the best creatures!
