Giant Spanish Dancer [Hexabranchus giganteus]
Description
The Giant Spanish Dancer is a large, flamboyant nudibranch with a broad body and dramatic color patterns that can look almost like a living banner. When it moves, it undulates in a way that resembles a dance, and divers often notice it perched on or near sponge-rich areas.
