This is an Opalescent Nudibranch, Hermissenda crassicornis a species of brightly coloured, sea slug or nudibranch. These live predominantly in the Pacific Northwest and are about 4 cm in length.
In my continuing posts about black and white underwater photography this week, I throw it to you, the viewer. Which image do you prefer and why?
Here is a link to my first post. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

I'd go with the color photograph. Black and white is good too, but color is so much better. The vibrancy of the sea slug is in its color. Which looks dull in the black and white pic.

Loved the B&W photo. Looks like an SEM micrograph.

Both are beautiful, but I prefer the color photo. The orange on the cerata is so striking

WOW! This is so cool! I liked the color one the best. Are these sea slugs poisonous? And by the way. How do you take these photos? Is it a special camera?

I'm kind of partial to black & white in this case. A little too much orange in the colour photo. Love your posts, thanks for making them.

BW focus more on the structure, but the Color shows the whole beauty.
Color wins :)

Here I would go for the colour photo which looks amazing! (In your previous post, that first shot in b&w was awesome.) I suppose I would have to choose on a case by case basis... Honestly, Scott, your work is fantastic either way! resteemed :)
