Nudibranch - Tritoniopsis elegans

This beautiful nudibranch feeds on small clumps of soft coral, which is usually a light brown color when its polyps are extended. The soft coral is just beneath the animal and shows the white area where he has been feeding as well as some of the soft coral with polyps retracted. Tritoniopsis elegans was .75 inches (20mm).
