This is a Trinchesia yamasui nudibranch, found on a night dive in Komodo, Indonesia This one was only a couple of cm long. In this photo it is sitting on a stinging hydroid. Nudibranchs are a group of soft-bodied, marine gastropod molluscs which shed their shells after their larval stage. They are noted for their often extraordinary colours and striking forms. Currently, about 2,300 valid species of nudibranchs are known.
I used a Nikon D300 in an Aquatica housing with two Sea & Sea YS110 strobes. Lens used was a Nikon 60mm

Camera set to manual mode with these setting:

ISO - 400
Aperture - f-20
Shutter speed - 1-100

WoW! The sea is so full of wonders, I saw a documentary on Komodo recently. Coral reefs are out of this world and so many fish. Lucky you. :))
