Elegant Wart Slug [Phyllidia elegans]
Description
As its name suggests, Phyllidia elegans is a beautifully patterned nudibranch that can look almost “ornate” against the reef. Divers commonly see it cruising along hard substrates, where it uses its foot to glide and its body to graze. With its bold markings and textured appearance, it’s a rewarding sight for both casual observers and macro photographers.
