Chromodoris marpessa [Chromodoris marpessa]
Description
This nudibranch is a colorful highlight for divers, especially in sponge-rich environments. You may see it moving along the substrate with a steady, unhurried pace, often blending just enough with the reef backdrop to require a careful look. Its vivid appearance is a classic “reef find” for underwater photographers.
