Phyllidia ocellata

It only shows just how wonderful Scuba Diving in Lembeh Straits can be, now here’s a glimpse of another Top 10 critters in Lembeh, The Nudibranch

They are member of Nudibranchia, a group of soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusks which shed their shell after their larval stage. They are noted for their often extraordinary colors and striking forms. There are more than 3,000 described species of nudibranchs. The word “nudibranch” comes from the Latin nudus, naked, and the Greek βραγχια, brankhia, gills. Nudibranchs are often casually called sea slugs, but many sea slugs belong to several taxonomic groups which are not closely related to nudibranchs. A number of these other sea slugs, such as the colorful Aglajidae, are often confused with nudibranchs.

This one in the picture is just one of the thousands of species of Nudibranch scattered in Lembeh Sea, also known as Phyllidia Ocellata. Planning your next holiday? Well, hope this one contribute enough for you to decide your next diving destinations
