Shaun the Sheep 🐑 💚
These #Costasiella are my absolute favourite type of #seaslug . Although not a #nudibranch, no one can deny their cuteness. Those tiny close set eyes, little pink cheeks, large black tipped rhinophores and all that sparkly colourful cerata make them pretty damn amazing. And as if that wasn’t enough, these magical masters of nature eat so much algae, that they can actually use it themselves to photosynthesise! Solar powered slugs!
Most people travel to #Amed in the north east of #Bali to get their chance to shoot these cuties, yet whilst living in #Kohtao #thailand with @oceans_below we discovered we have vast fields of their favourite algae right on our doorstep! We then went on many muck dives in order to find these tiny creatures, which are on average between 2-4mm! 🐜
Remember your macro lens, watch your fin placement and remember to check your air! These guys are not to be missed. Thanks @big_blue_conservation for the tips on where best to locate these beauties. Can’t wait to see these guys again in the not too distant future. .
