Timothy Nguyen That's awesome party trick there Gary Cobb, you're going to have to show me how it's done!

Blogie Robillo Yah Gary, do tell!

Gary Cobb Photoshop is a wonderful thing! Auto curves and adding warmth do wonders!

Blogie Robillo Got Photoshop to add some red filters & stuff, but I can't ever get my green shots to look this good...

Gary Cobb I think the trick of it all is get the WHITE areas white before adjusting colour colours.

Deepak Apte Is this Prostheceraeus giesbrechtii?

João Pedro Silva Where was this taken, Deepak? In spite of the variations in Prostheceraeus giesbrechtii I've never seen these colours, nor the dark edge. Here are my photos of this species, all taken in Portugal: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpsilva1971/tags/prostheceraeusgiesbrechtii/

Deepak Apte It was photographed in the Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat State, West coast of India. thanks for sharing the images.

João Pedro Silva Then surely it's not P. giesbrechtii as it's distributed in the East Atlantic and Mediterranean. Lessepsian migration occurs mostly from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean and very rarely in the opposite direction.

Deepak Apte We recently have noticed number of ant-lessepsian migrants in India especially opisthobranchs.

João Pedro Silva That's really interesting, Deepak! Which species, by the way?

Deepak Apte Cratena peregrine, Theccacera

Vinicius Padula Deepak, first congrats for your book! I´m in a project to compare &quot;Cratena peregrina" from different regions, and I would like to include Sout African and India specimens, that are still missing. Any possibility to have a collaboration? Best wishes

Deepak Apte Will be happy to so. Unfortunately we can not send specimens out of country due to Biodiversity Act. But if we can work from this end on set protocols, will be happy to do so. I have only two specimens of this species and need to search for more to be able to disect

Vinicius Padula Much probably the Brazilian specimens are not coespecific to the eastern Atlantic-Mediterranean ones. They are in general smaller and without the blue pigment in the cerata.

Vinicius Padula "conspecific"

Henk van Dijk thanks.

João Pedro Silva You're welcome. The two orange bands on the head plus the orange tipped smooth rhinophores are a dead give away for C. peregrina.

Henk van Dijk Flabellina affinis ?

João Pedro Silva Yes, that's Flabellina affinis. But be aware there are two other purple Flabellina in the area and one of them is very likely to be mistaken for F. affinis: Flabellina ischitana, which lacks the purple superficial pigment on the top of the cerata. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpsilva1971/5967063105/

Ton Van de Waerdt At Gozo (Malta)

Gary Cobb I used the Eastern Atlantic/Mediterranean Nudibranch ID App and it took 46 seconds to find an ID this Cratena peregrina

Gary Cobb Beautiful species!

João Pedro Silva It's quite unmistakable in this area, with that "facial paint" and smooth rhinophores :) Berghia coerulescens also has the orange "facial paint" but the rhinophores and cerata are so distinctive one will hardly confuse them.

Eric van Andel Today at Oosterschelde; St Annaland. Found a Aeolidia papillosa that has a orange like color (especcialy the tips of the rinophores). Perhaps getting in the mood for the European Championships Soccer as a fan of the Dutch team??

João Pedro Silva I wonder what you would say about the Doriopsilla or Armina maculata and of course Berthellina edwardsi. Actually, orange is a very common colour in our opistobranchs. I wonder if someone has ever tried to find patterns in the geographic distribution of colour.

Eric van Andel Here in NL you only see white or brownish Aeolidia papillosa that was why I was wondered... Is it Ecotypical Variation?? With other words... do they get the color of the food they eat?

João Pedro Silva I'm really not sure. Some do get their colour from the food (or what we actually see is the colour of the food), even showing some variation along the digestive gland (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpsilva1971/4784556408/). But what to say about Cratena peregrina's "war paint"? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpsilva1971/5830432341/

Marco Faasse João, that's an interesting splanchnotrophid parasite in your Cratena photo, any idea which species it belongs to?

João Pedro Silva Marco, I have no idea. But I've been tagging the photos with parasites and assembling a set on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpsilva1971/sets/72157626974078442/

Marco Faasse Very good! There are several species of splanchnotrophids in the NE Atlantic. I noticed that some egg sacs are white and others are purple. I wonder whether different parasites produce eggs in different colours. We have Spanchnotrophus angulatus parasites with purplish eggs in Aeolidiella glauca.

Ron Silver Cratena peregrina

Francesco Benedetto Cratena peregrina. La cratena peregrina è un nudibranco, appartenente alla famiglia dei Cratenidae. Il corpo bianco-giallo opaco o parzialmente traslucido, cerata appariscenti, più o meno abbondanti, di colore arancio, viola-blu verso la parte terminale. Rinofori dello stesso colore del corpo alla base, poi arancio. Presenti due macchie arancio davanti ai rinofori e due lunghi tentacoli orali al di sotto di essi. Fino a 5 centimetri. Spesso reperibile assieme al nudibranco Flabellina affinis. La C. peregrina è segnalata come piuttosto aggressiva nei confronti dei propri simili e di altre specie. La difesa avviene tramite gli cnidosacchi posti al termine dei cerata, dove la C. peregrina immagazzina gli cnidoblasti dell'idroide Eudendrium. Se minacciata erige i cerata verso il possibile nemico per allontanarlo. Endemica del Mar Mediterraneo, ma presente anche in Danimarca e nel Mare del Nord, molto comune fino a 30 metri di profondità su fondali rocciosi, caratterizzati spesso da coralligeno, o tra Posidonia oceanica. Spesso molto abbondante in alcune zone. ---------------------------------------------------- Cratena tiré par les cheveux. Le Cratena peregrina est un nudibranche, appartenant à la famille des Cratenidae. Le corps jaune-cire blanche opaque ou partiellement translucide flashy, plus ou moins abondante, orange, violet-bleu vers le terminal. Rhynophores la même couleur que le corps de l'embase, puis orange. Sont deux taches orange en face de deux rhinophores longs et des tentacules oraux en dessous d'eux. Jusqu'à 5 cm. On retrouve souvent avec le nudibranche Flabellina affinis. Le C. peregrina est signalé comme plutôt agressifs envers leur propre espèce et d'autres espèces. La défense est à travers les endroits cnidosacchi à la fin de la cire, où C. peregrina stocke le dell'idroide Eudendrium cnidoblasti. Si érige menacées ciré vers une possible ennemi de le destituer. Endémiques à la Méditerranée, mais aussi au Danemark et en mer du Nord, très commun jusqu'à 30 pieds de profondeur sur des fonds rocheux, souvent caract��risées par des coraux, ou entre Posidonia oceanica. Souvent très abondant dans certaines régions. ------------------------------------------------------ Cratena farfetched. The Cratena peregrina is a nudibranch, belonging to the family of Cratenidae. The body yellow-white opaque or partially translucent wax flashy, more or less abundant, orange, violet-blue towards the terminal. Rhynophores the same color of the body to the base, then orange. Are two orange spots in front of two long rhinophores and oral tentacles below them. Up to 5 cm. Often found together with the nudibranch Flabellina affinis. The C. peregrina is reported as rather aggressive towards their own kind and other species. The defense is through the cnidosacchi places at the end of the waxed, where C. peregrina stores the cnidoblasti dell'idroide Eudendrium. If threatened erects waxed towards possible enemy to remove him. Endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, but also in Denmark and the North Sea, very common up to 30 feet deep on rocky bottoms, often characterized by coral, or between Posidonia oceanica. Often very abundant in some areas.

Ken Thongpila Very nice...

João Pedro Silva Don't get me wrong, Orietta, I like the overall image but the editing could be better. I don't know exactly how the original was but probably you had a lot of these hydroids on the right side of the image. But the way they were erased made the left oral tentacle (on the right side of the image) a bit awkward.

Orietta Rivolta Pedro you are right, I am self-taught and still learning a lot.

João Pedro Silva With the DOF you have in this shot I suppose the original would be also very nice. Don't you want to share that,too?

Ashley Missen What I Find really interesting is the Colouration and configuration of the Nudi - This one if you changed the colours around looks a lot like Flabellina poenicia Willload one Up and See what you thing - itis almost a colour switch - Cheers Ash

João Pedro Silva A very large and voracious aeolid. In fact, it was considered to be a nudibranch predator but apparently it only accidentally swallows other nudibranchs which may be feeding one the same hydroids, like Flabellina affinis, F. ischitana, F. pedata, Cratena peregrina and others.

João Pedro Silva Not much detail but the arrangement of the cerata makes me think it's probably Flabellina ischitana: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152911938905641&set=a.10152911481660641.1073741835.589765640&type=3&theater

Ian Smith I hope Joao gets those kisses now for his effort ;-0

João Pedro Silva I decided not to identify those from "Africa" because I don't know if they're from the Mediterranean, the Atlantic or the Indian ocean.

Samantha Varns Xxx kisses an thank you xxx

João Pedro Silva Samantha Varns, next time you could allow comments on the album as it makes it a lot easier :)

Samantha Varns Sorry didn't realised it was blocked

Bernard Picton Could you add countries to the African ones?

Samantha Varns Easy they were all in Kenya diving off from mombassa the beach was Diana beach :-) xxx

Shaun West Malta. I think this is Cratena peregrine (Gmelin, 1791), found on top of the HMS Maori (Valletta harbour) at 12meters. Approximately 15mm in length. Not a great photo but the best I could get given the movement.

João Pedro Silva Yes, it's Cratena peregrina. The real colours have a lot less blue: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpsilva1971/6081910869/ You should try to use a strobe.

Pete Bullen Hi folks, my 1st post but thought I'd share this shot I took last week. I live in Gozo in the eastern med and am incredibly lucky to get to dive most days. :)

Mark Farrer Stunning

David Ennew i dream of taking photos like this

Pete Bullen David, thanks for the compliment, come and spend a few days diving with me and I can teach you. It's what I do out here. :)
