Nudibranchs : Colourful Shell-less Sea Snails



We know that nature has a habit of creating the most extraordinary designs (understatement) with colour being one of the aspects involved.

Nudibranchs are the shell-less relatives of the snail and are no exception.

They are known for their garish colors, are usually only 2cm – 6cm in length and can be found worldwide.

The creatures soft-body and short life span of 1 year make it possible for many of them to live undetected and vanish from the earth without a trace.

To us (or me even) its ironic that regardless of their colour, Nudibranchs are blind.
