Melibe nudibranch - Melibe engeli

This nudibranch has been a challenge to photograph. Melibe engeli is almost transparent and nearly impossible to spot in the algae it lives in. It uses its specialized fringed mouth (right side) like a throw net to catch tiny prey. The string of "ball-like" objects are internal organs. 15mm
