Chromodoris willani, as if I could care

by Darren

OK, so my views on nudibranch have been expressed previously, and they aren’t polite. And they are firmly held views … I think …..

Despite those views, I’d taken the pictures of these sea slugs and therefore they need to be identified. Web searches brought up little, so when I was browsing in a book shop last night and came across an encyclopedia of the little coloured fellows I thought I’d pass the time by working out what this is.

A good idea, except I’m probably a bit impressionable. I also have a weakness for collecting. Here were thousands of something, and I could buy the book and tick off the few I’d seen. Then I could go places and tick off some more ….

Then I noticed the book was fifty quid. Enough to squash a stupid idea in a moment.

Anyway, Chromodoris willani was the answer. As if I could care. Really. Until the next time ……
