Carronella pellucida is one of the most special nudibranchs we have in Scotland. Especially under blue lights! Check out this one from Loch Creran

Another #fluorescent beauty, the grey sea slug (Aeolidia papillosa) is anything but grey under blue lights! This #nudibranch is quite common in #Scotland

A few seconds of #kelp at the Falls of Lora, Connel, Scotland. These algae withstand incredible forces down there.
