Phyllidia guamensis [Phyllidia guamensis]
Description
Phyllidia guamensis is a visually distinctive nudibranch that divers can come across in reef environments where sponges are abundant. It tends to move deliberately along the substrate, making it possible to observe its behavior up close with a steady, non-intrusive approach. Its coloration and texture give it a “living artwork” look against the reef.
