Heavenly Wart Slug [Phyllidia coelestis]
Description
Divers often spot this slug as a vivid, sky-toned nudibranch with a velvety look and small, bumpy “wart” texture. It typically moves slowly over reef surfaces, where its striking coloration stands out against rock and coral rubble. If you’re lucky, you’ll see it grazing and inching along in the same patch of habitat.
