Another Chestnut Cowry (Neobernaya spadicea), this time with its mantle almost fully covering the shell. The mantle actually secretes enamel that causes the shell to be so shiny.

Chestnut Cowry (Neobernaya spadicea) on the move. Itβs rare to see these moving, so this was a lucky sighting.

Sometimes you show up too early for a dive, but in this case, totally worth it

The Lettuce Slug (Elysia crispata) isnβt a nudi, but close enough?

Sometimes you can even see them in tide pools. Nudis tend to be where water is moving, it bring nutrients that way. Iβve seen incredible pics from people looking for them in tide pools.
