Chromodoris iris [Chromodoris iris]
Description
Divers may spot this nudibranch as a striking, colorful sea slug gliding slowly along rocky or reef habitats. Its vivid patterning and contrasting tones make it stand out against the substrate, especially when it pauses to graze on food. Look for it in sheltered areas where it can blend in while still flashing its bold colors.
