Mating nudibranches??
   A fellow DM spotted these 2 nudibranches at Blue Lagoon in Aur. Initially din see the one behind cos was photographing from the front and just thot it was one big nudibranch then noticed the second set of rhinopores but by then they started moving already. Guess we invaded on their privacy.  Last edited by benmah; 29th August 2005 at 10:40 AM. |

Re: Mating nudibranches??
i only see the first photo, shooould be Ribescia Tyroni, and no they are not mating. They are just tailgating, which is a common behaviour in this species. their genital organs are at the side of the head.

Re: Mating nudibranches??
Hi Eric!
sorry for long time replying, I have been in Indo for the 6 weeks - I am more of a lurker here but enjoy it greatly. Managed to get some diving in (had 5 weeks in Lembeh!) so as soon as I can start working on pics I will post some more "mating nudis". all the best paul Last edited by whitehead; 16th October 2005 at 11:53 AM. |
