    Status: No conservation concerns 

    This nudibranch (Phestilla melanobrachia) is making me hungrier by the second. Though they do come in two color morphs (the other is black) I'm much more fond of the orange version. Doesn't it look like a living jumble of cheetos??

    Yum Yum Yum... I just hope it's not hot cheetos flavored. I can't stand spicy things. Never did understand how people could endure firey, burning PAIN while "enjoying" a meal.

    Regular cheese puffs though... send 'em my way!!

    See more photos after the jumpola.
