Tuesday Nudi - The enormous white edition

Those of you who are fans of the Wind aspects of Earth, Wind & Water (ie the birds) may recognise aspects of the latin name of Ardeadoris egretta. Thats because Ardea and Egretta are two genuses (genera?geniii?) of birds, specifically herons and those big fluffy white egrets. What does an Indo-pacific seaslug have in common with big fluffy white egrets? Well, see for yourself:

This nudi is not that common but fairly easy to spot - its huge! The all white body can make it a pain to photograph as the white shows up the blue cast to the light or burns out easily under strobes. The upside is its so massive (for a nudi - perhaps 3-4 inches) that you can give up and switch too extreme close-ups.

For those intrigued, the shark orgy is on deck as the next post. In the meantime thoughts on the new look header and widgets would be welcomed as they're still on probation.
