Nudibranchs, Sea Hares and Flamingo Tongues.

in photography •  8 years ago 

What are those? Take a look!

This is actually a lettuce sea slug. Quite difficult to photograph as they are so small and low to the ground. This one was a couple of centimeters, I found it on the reef in Aruba.

I also found one tiny one. Here it is on my hand.

This is a Sea Hare. Looks like a larger (and fatter) sea slug.

When a Sea Hare feels threatened, it releases purple ink. you can see that in this picture.

This is called a Flamingo Tongue. Very bright colors. Beautiful.

These are the nudibranchs I found while diving in Costa Rica. The first one looks like it glows in the dark. very beautiful.

These two were together. I tried to get a nicer picture, but the divemaster was in a hurry :(

I hope you enjoyed all the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. If anybody has more tips for better underwater photography let me know in the comments.

@xbananax As a scuba diving fanatic I can really appreciate these photographs. Thanks for sharing, and of course, better seeing all these creatures 'live' in their natural habitat : )

You are welcome. I was so happy to find these.
