Bicolor Nudibranch, Samla bicolor

I rarely snorkel on S. Maui without finding one of these tiny  nudibranchs.  They are diurnal and are often seen crawling along the edge or on top of algae laden rocks  Most of these individuals were found in less than 2 metres of water and were between 10 and 20 mm in size.    There are some excellent photos of these animals laying eggs and mating on  Sea Slugs of Hawaii
