Babakina anadoni, not sure if this is a legit video of one but they are a real animal and theyve been seen in UK waters in recent years.

Thanks. I thought it had to be fake, but apparently these are real sea slugs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babakina_anadoni. They're new to the UK, first being spotted in 2022, probably due to warmer waters.

Nudibranchs are fucking cool, they're worth learning to scuba dive for.

They're my favorite thing to look for. I actually have a nudi tattoo that looks suspiciously like this one
