1st Place Nudibranchs
Paolo Bausani
“True Colors”
Paolo Bausani won a 7 night dive package to Puerto Galera, Philippines, with El Galleon Resort and Asia Divers!
The Story:
I photographed this nudibranch of the species Cratena Peregrina while it was feeding on its preferred prey.
It feeds on the stinging cells of a hydrozoan without suffering the venom.
The ambient light combined with the strobe flash emphasized the vivid coloration of its livery
