This lovely Pacific chromodorid nudibranch was filmed in Anilao, Philippines. "Iacula" is Latin for "fish-net," in reference to the beautiful pattern on the back. Often found on steep walls at 20-25 meters and feeds on sponges (Gosliner et al. 2008 Indo-Pacific Nudibranchs and Sea Slugs)

I'm Shane. Macronesia is the outlet for my underwater macro videos. I'm a terrestrial ecologist by vocation and underwater videographer by compulsion, with a special penchant for nudibranchs, other sea slugs, and marine invertebrates of all types. This is a non-commercial site, I just want to share these moving images as widely as possible. Please share my videos with your friends, and "like" the Macronesia Facebook page to stay connected. Even better, submit your email address on the home page and never miss a new video.
