This was an incredible find. This sea slug is a Phestilla sp.—the first anyone in our group had ever seen. It is almost perfectly camouflaged on the coral upon which it is sitting, and is laying egg spirals behind it. Only the strobe light at an angle makes this sucker pop out enough from the background to be noticed. Photo taken at Hot Rocks in Sangeang, Indonesia.
