Goniobranchus galactos [Goniobranchus galactos]
Description
Goniobranchus galactos is a colorful nudibranch that stands out against the reef thanks to its smooth, eye-catching mantle. Divers usually encounter it slowly moving along the bottom, often staying near sponge or other food sources. Because it doesn’t travel far, careful searching in crevices and on reef flats can pay off.
