MARINE LIFE AT MABUL - PART 1

This is my second favorite Nudibranch called the THECACERA Nudibranch. Also known as PIKACHU =P I still can't believe I saw it!!! It has the Bunny Ears but not as long as the other THECACERA Nudie with much longer bunny ears with more patterns on it. Nevertheless, this is one of the top fav Nudibranches among Divers & I'm so lucky to see one! Its Beautiful! I love Nudibranches so for me to see this one its already a great moment for me.
