Imperial Nudibranch

The Imperial Nudibranch is one of the most beautiful sea creatures one can come across in the Hawaiian Islands. Littered with golden spots on its milky white skin, rhinophores a deep blue specked with white, a deep blue almost purple margin,  and exposed gills like an icy crown carried on its back complete the picture of this sea slug. Like in this photo they are often found in pairs, one trailing behind the other as they work their way across the reef.
