"This gorgeous nudibranch is Phyllodesmium briareum. It was in pairs and the larger individual was about 5 cm long. It has a very distinctive appearance, with long, extended, swaying projections that are magnificent. Some people may associate them with the Medusa of Greek mythology. However, they are also known as the jewels of the sea. I met one in the hollow of a sheer cliff."
